It was about the beginning of March last year that I decided to actually try to grow a giant pumpkin, I had picked up some seeds at the Circleville Pumpkin Show the previous fall and kinda forgot about them for the winter. I was a bit overwhelmed with all the information but decided I would make an effort but not go crazy like a lot of guys do. I thought I could grow a decent pumpkin without spending a ton of time or money, I wouldn't go for any records just something reasonably large. I should have known I was not capable of doing something halfway.
This all came to my mind as I am spending all Sunday afternoon (my only day to take it easy) setting 12ft treated posts 3 ft deep in the ground. These will have high tensile wire at the top that will support shade cloth. I think its safe to say this hobby has moved beyond the realm of casual hobby.
I have already had to change by planned grow spots in the patch, when I was setting posts I realized how much of a drainage issue I have alon
