Every year we grow "The Great Pumpkin". This pumpkin patch is in memory of my father. I still remember his beaming smile and sense of pride with his 92 pound pumpkin. This year I fell short in reaching his special accomplishment. This year the mammoth gourd tipped the scales at 75.5 pounds. It is a beauty to be proud of but falls a few pounds short. That is okay because, I know my Dad is smiling.

Dad would be very proud.
That's a very nice pumpkin, even if it doesn't beat your Dad's this year. I think he'd love that you are still trying in his honor.
Nice post. I am sure he is smiling now...
PresidentofCookies, Giant pumpkin seeds are welcome Christmas presents. I will try again next year.
Zoomie, This squash will make a lot of pies.
Three Dogs BBQ, I believe that too.
Awesome, touching post.
What does one do with a 75 pumpkin?
