So, Halloween had arrived, and it was finally time to see what that generic Dill seed had done for me! It'd nearly completely stopped growing after my early October post and was estimating at 180lbs even. The Clementz had gone 20% heavy...could the Dill?! Alas, no. It went light :). 176lbs, but I couldn't be happier. Anyway, after weighing it, I rolled the thing onto a tarp and dragged it up a gentle, but seemingly endless, incline to my front porch as the centerpiece of our surprisingly legitimate Halloween decorations. That night, we got well in excess of 100 costumed hooligans, many of whom clearly skipped the Puyallup Fair, exclaiming at the gargantuan size of our pumpkin. Surprisingly, the most common question I got was if it was real. I told 'em they could probably take the same seeds, throw them behind their back into a pile of dirt and show up in October to their own 176lber. Here it is with my younger sister in front of the house.
