More Big Vegetables!

This time, we’ve got enormous pumpkins grown by Frank Mucci of Harrison.
Here’s a note I got from Ward Olmsted, Frank’s next-door neighbor (the one with a computer), along with photos of the pumpkins he displayed in the recent “It’s Great To Live In Harrison Day” parade. Here’s Ward:
“As seen here in the photos, his parade float said “Move Over Roy, Our Pumpkins Are Coming”. Roy Aletti buys his 1300-pound pumpkins in Canada, and displays them every year in the parade. Frank grew his in his backyard.”
Frank told me they weigh over 300 pounds each.

Way to go, Frank! And thanks to Ward for sending.

Bill Cary grew up in Louisville, Ky. His gardening was limited to growing parsley and impatiens on the windowsill of Manhattan walkups until the mid-1990s when he bought a rundown old chicken farm on 8 acres in the Hudson Valley. Now he spends his weekends chasing deer, hacking away at invasive shrubs and vines and wondering why he doesn`t have more meadow and less lawn.
