So think back and post what you did as a hobby before growing Pumpkins?

Fished, took photos of flowers, and cooked. :)

Hmmmm, well sports have always been a get-away for me..I'm a hugh Clemson Tiger, New York Yankees, and Pittsburgh Steelers fan. Working out, Playing softball anything outdoors. HOWEVER I must say this thing has hit me like a TON of brick's I never knew I could get so caught up and interested in something so quick. Now I get to spend time at home, stay active and work outdoors at the same time. Good post..

I've only been growing AG's for 2 years now and I can't even remember what I was doing before.

I always grew a garden.....but AG's brought it up to a different level.

Gardening, hunting and fishing with the family. About the only thing that is changing is going to the kids' school activities. My daughter is finishing up at community college and my son is a seinor at high school. Jacob might wrestle in college but after that I will have to wait for grandkids.

I was big into fishing and gardening. Now I fish very little and my vegetable garden has seriously decreased in size to make room for the giants!

I still make itout to deepsea fish (tuna & yellowtail)I still river fish also, but not nearly as much. I collect RS Prussia china and coins through out the winter months. My veggie garden and pumpkin patches just keep getting bigger and bigger. Growing the giants gives me the feeling of acomplishment that I never had with anything else. Sorta gives one peace of mind if you will.

I used to be married (lol). I thank pumpkins for shedding some light on that problem. I also used to sing in a Barbershop Quartet...but mostly spent time with the family or watched TV. Fortunately, I don't have a TV anymore, and my daughter is 17 and living with the ex. She is still the one thing that always trumps pumpkins though!
