I went to the Great Pumpkin Contest in San Luis Obispo at the farmers market yesterday. The pumpkins were so large they took my breath away. I have grown pumpkins all my life... I've never had anything that even came close to these though.I took pictures so you could see them, but to be honest...they really are more spectacular in person.
They really are amazing aren't they? What fun to go see them being judged. They are huge. I wonder how they grow them that big.., lots of fertilizer I would guess.
Oh my LORD! That's fantastic. I tried to get Jamie Oliver to grow a gigantic pumpkin this year but he didn't get around to it. Hopefully next year! Wish I had been there with ya....
the night will never stay, the night will still go by, though with a million stars you pin it to the sky; though you bind it with the blowing wind, and buckle it with the moon, the night will slip away like sorrow or a tune.
I love your birthday present, what a lucky gal. I wish I could see those giant pumpkins in real life I'm sure they are amazing.
