September was a long stressful month. Last spring I sold a bunch of seeds for a local charity fundraiser and an 82 year old gentleman nicknamed Jigger threw my seeds in the ground and this ended up at the end of his main. He never grew giant pumpkins before and he had his picture in a local paper so I called him up and went over to his house and his OTT weight was 345 pounds. He terminated his secondaries with a lawnmower when they got too long. He treated me to coffee and his wife baked an apple pie. I remember growing my first "big" pumpkin at 133 pounds in 2007. My guess is that Jigger is probably hooked on this sport now.
