Tell us some of the things you would have never done before you strated in this hobby of growing giant things....
"I would have never stopped at the dumpster today and put that baby mattress in the truck that someone threw away cause it had a rip in it LoL... Hey not only is that a perfect melon cushion so we can take the melon to the weigh off safely, it was free"... :)

I wouldn't have called a vacation a trip out to Topsfield one year and to Oregon the next year to see some giants.

I would have NEVER stopped at the farmers house down the road and bartered his 6 yard pile of aged angus manure for a case of Bud Light and 2 bags of venison!! :)

Got over my fear enough of arachnids to kill my own, even when they have little red hourglasses on their undersides
Collect plastic hangers all winter and snap the elbows off
Hand out garbage bags to neighbors and friends that have maple leaves, heck, rake yards for free for maple leaves
Visit the rolloff the week after christmas and do a Don Young (gut couches for foam and gods, scored three hideabed mattress foams!)
Turn down an eternity band.
Shovel manure when it wasn't an animal care chore...
Found this website
Made lots of new friends
Get off my miraclegro fixation
Think a 500# pumpkin was tiny
Run a weighoff

Put a fan outside my house.
Get up early in the morning.
Watch how long it takes water to percolate into my soil.
Spend more than 30 minutes at a time doing yardwork.
Ask someone if I could have their fallen leaves.

1)Try to understand te inner workings of a vegetable
2)Watch the weather forecast like it was the super bowl
3)Consider a high water bill a normal occurance
4)Talk to pumpkins
5)know the safe re-entry time for 10 plus chemicals
6)view all animal activity as "Hostile action"

Yeah Bryan, talk weather with the farmers and make them look like pikers (yes I looked to see when the wind is supposed to switch even!)

I would never have chased down a truck load of poop
I would never have set my alarm clock for pumpkin sex
I would never have asked for a tiller for Mothers Day
I would never have begged, pleaded and prayed for a pumpkin

Not see alpaca poo scooping as barn work but seeing it as collecting fertilizer. We own alpacas and work on the farms the ones we own are boarded on.

I would have never explained "pumpkin sex" to my middle school students.
I would never have had to beg permission from my professors to leave in the middle of a master's degree seminar to have pumpkin sex.
