This blog will follow the growth of a giant pumpkin fittingly named "The Big Shaq". When Shaq emerged on the scene he was big and nasty, lifting piles of dirt as he bent backwards to stand up straight. He looked like the HULK right after ripping his shirt to shreds......Amazing. Shaq is now outside grabbing up all of the nutrients like Dennis Rodman grabs rebounds. Get ready to watch Shaq "Squash" the competition

Sixty Days Left
SHAQ is huge, 25'x 14'!!! He would be wider, but the Luv Shaq is only 14' wide. I guess it's time to take it down.
The busy bee has come and gone. He moved on to less green pastures. His work is done and the pumpkins are growing. Now comes the hard part, which one do I keep and which ones do I get rid of? Or do I keep three just so I can win first, second, and third place? I'll probably wait a week or two before I decide. Now there are 15 or 20 small pumpkins starting, and about 5 or 6 that have already been pollinated.

We will come trick-or-treating to your house this year, supposing any runners up will be transformed into enormous jack o' lanterns. What a fabulous plant!
