New year new seed catalogs! I ordered some Dill’s Atlantic Giant pumpkin seeds. I’m going to try to grow a 100+ pound pumpkin this year. Why?

Why not?

When I managed the Garden Center, I had a Stock Boy who was really enthused about gardening, but he had no space at home to do it. I let him use a corner of the property ‘down below’ so it was out of the public view.

I don’t know what his secret was, but that kid grew MONSTER Pumpkins down there and we would bring them up with the FORK LIFT and set them out front in the Fall for decoration.

We had a customer who wanted to buy them all, so he paid us $50 EACH for them! The $ went into our ‘Employee Snack Fund’ and Jeremy was the most popular Stock Boy we ever had, LOL!
