Here are the top ten signs how male growers know they are addicted to growing Giant Pumpkins.

10) The most breeding you do in a year is in July and that is in the pumpkin patch.

9) You can recite the information from labels on pesticides and fertilizers from memory.

8) You have at least once called someone else by the name you have given your pumpkin.

7) It's hard to remember birthdays or anniversary's yet you know the weights of the top ten pumpkins grown last year by heart.

6) You have fibbed to your better half at least once regarding the amount of money you have spent on your addiction.

5) You have actually cried when a pumpkin you pinned your hopes on aborted.

4) You have actually driven more than an hour away just to see some one else's patch.

3) You have spent more money on the pumpkin patch than the wife and kids.

2) It's genetics, all men like big things.

And the number one reason male growers know they are addicted to growing Giant Pumpkins.

1) The only time you have ever asked for directions is to a pumpkin weigh-off.


Hope ya had a laugh...

Outstanding, guilty as charged. Also, I have a tape measure around my neck like a tailor from sun up to dusk.
