Pumpkin #1 - on the vine in the lilac bush
Pumpkin #2 - Hanging, yes hanging behind the lilac bushPumpkin #3 - Growing behind the fence, using the quaking aspen for support
Pumpkins #1 and #2 soon rotted out and died on the vines. But pumpkin #3 continued to grow wedged between the tree and fence. A couple of days ago Jeremy and his friend Brian cut it down (check out the video)! Zach is very proud of this pumpkin and is anxious to take it to school to win a contest. We are just not sure how we are going to get it there!

Holy Canoli! That's a big pumpkin. What a cool place for it to grow!
WOW!!! That is one HUGE pumpkin hanging in a tree! Good luck at the contest and good luck getting it there.
OK, that is UTube stuff or funniest home video!
I've never seen anything like that! Hilarious! I want to know how much that thing weighs! Your kids will NEVER forget it!
If he doesn't win the prize for the biggest pumpkin, he should definitely win some amazing award for the coolest, most unusual, and nature-defying growing location! How many other students, let alone anyone, could ever be able to say that they grew a pumpkin in a tree?! Seriously, I think this is one of the most incredible things we have ever seen! I literally had to scrape Jeff's jaw off the counter as he watched the video!!
That is definitely some gravity defying agricultural cultivation! Awesome! You need to post that one on FB! Zach better win a prize!!
