Every year after the pumpkins are weighed and on display im asked at least one question that makes me laugh on the inside.
my favorite was last year when a nice young lady asked.
"excuse me sir, how many years did it take you too grow that pumpkin?"

One of my favorites is "where did you buy that huge pumpkin?"

Then when I tell them I grew it in my backyard, most people ask for seeds. I'm always happy to give out seeds and keep a bunch of packs ready for the parents at halloween.

Saxomaphone...I gave a plant to one of my friends at the hospital....she grew it to ~200lbs. Her hubby went out into the patch and tried to TWIST it to make it grow evenly on the bottom!! Needless to say she and her daughter weren't very happy! They now call him P.K. Pumpkin Killer. He learned his lesson and she is getting some good seeds this year!

Last year, still during the growing season one of my neighbors asked me "Who grew that?" When I told him that we were growing it the same neighbor said "No you didn't."
