When the first thing you look at, when looking at prospective house, is your compass, which you carry faithfully to EVERY house, so that you can determine if its facing in the right direction for optimum sunlight.

When the second thing you look at after determining that its facing in the right direction is whether or not you can get your truck in the backyard to load pumpkins, as well as haul manure.

When the third thing you look at for buying a home is you're inspecting the neighbors yards for large trees that might block sunlight.

When you convince your wife that we cant purchase this beautiful home, even though she loves it, because of issues with the above mentioned reasons, and then we both end up with everything we want in the end?......priceless!!!

when your new nickname in the dorms is "hydroponic pot grower" because your friends see your light fixture and heat mat set up for the pumpkin seedlings.

when your parents' and grandparents' friends send them newspaper clippings of giant pumpkin articles in the mail, because they know you will be interested in them.

ahh the ten year plan simple ...... you have to be dating for ten years before getting married / having kids.

or as my grandpa used to say:

"Don't think about getting married until your 40 and then just think about it. "


You know your a giant pumpkin grower when you partition your basement for a clone room.

When you buy a trailer that is oversized to haul bagged leaves and a large trailer to haul compost and manure and a small trailer to haul garden supplies and garden equipment from town to home and home to town and you have spent all your money for months and months now on garden supplies and it is still winter and you can't wait to get started! Those romatic rides with your bride to be are now scouting missions for manure piles and straw bales with your wife who drives the truck and trailer while you operate the tractor with bucket!
