How to make a giant pumpkin

Our local paper told about a giant pumpkin grower who lives near us. I wanted to go see his giant pumpkins. If I remember correctly one of them was weighed in as the second largest in the state.

The paper stated as they were growing he put canopies over them to protect them, so they would have filtered light and he set mouse traps around the…

Wanting some more vines for another pumpkin patch (this time between two metal black cats at the front porch) but NOT wanting to make another foray into the woods for more vines, I tried to make fake vines and stems. This project would be good also for folks who don't have access to areas to collect vines or don't want to have encounters with large spiders and their webs or get multiple chigger bites (like I did getting vines for "Almost Instant Pumpkin Patches"). Finding real pumpkin stems…

Several years ago, I found a tutorial on how to make giant-sized jack-o-lanterns on a website called, Stolloween. Since I was enchanted with the huge pumpkins outside of Hagrid's cottage on Harry Potter, I knew that I had to try my hand at making my own jumbo pumpkin at some point. This October, I spotted a large fake pumpkin at Hobby Lobby for about $140.00 and was so shocked at the steep price that I went straight home and started figuring my own out.
