The Big Pumpkin

It's fun to play. Actually it's healthy to play. I love a good challenge so this year I decided to grow a big pumpkin and see how big it would grow. I didn't realize all the work and research that I'd be putting into this but as time went on, I've become almost 'obsessive'! over this pumpkin. I guess you could say I got 'hooked'. This has been such a fun project (first try) that I decided to share it with all.
