To grow a great pumpkin in Edmonds: seeds, water, brute force

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

EDMONDS — What is needed to pick a pumpkin — a pair of gloves and some garden clippers?

In Ross Haddow’s case, it takes a small village, too.

For a decade, Haddow, 72, has grown giant pumpkins in the garden of his Edmonds home, and through those years he has called upon neighbors and loved ones to help move the behemoths as he prepares them for weigh-off competitions around Puget Sound.

“It’s a fun hobby,” Haddow said. “It’s fun to grow a fruit that’s bigger than you are.”

[Wonder Why]

1. They force feed them and fill them with antibiotics and RoundUp (the cancerous growth makes them

look bigger). Then they have their lifeline cut off so they can be removed all while slowly dying of thirst and starvation. Finally they are dragged unwillingly to rot at some festival where they are humiliated by being forced to sit there in the hot sun and poring rain while tourists gawk at them until they die. Even the Romans were not that cruel to the Christians.

Worse there are vegetarians and vegans who complain how animals are treated before they are cooked but yet they eat placentas and fetuses directly after they are ripped from their parent plant and while still alive!
