I watched that same show, I made it a point to point it out to the wife......you think I'm Obsessed with fishing, you should see these Pumpkin Farmers.....They're nuts.
Patches sabotaged by other growers, Video surveillance setup on the Patches, they don't go away for more than a day so they can take care of the pumpkins.
The coolest thing was the guy that said he had a pumpkin that was growing 40 lbs. a day
, said he could actually see it growing.
