I want to collect all the great quotes and words of the wise growers that have graced this site....... .....that are related to growing big......for instance

Remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint.

We are growing pumpkins, not lettuce......

If you know who said it first then list that too.....

What are your favorites?

How about when a 4 year old watches his mother bent over, in the patch, pulling weeds and says "WOW, I see the moon out today" ?

My 6 year old said it on the phone last night about our 9 day old pumpkin. "Grandma our biggest pumpkin is about the size of Mommie's head".

It's not the size of the stem that matters, its the size of the pumpkin.

I think a famous one in this hobby is "wait till next year", but can`t recall who said it. "Got Stelts?" is another one.
