Happy belated birthday! Are you surprised in this eclectic, eccentric family of mine that we grow gigantic pumpkins? No, I suppose you are not. Especially if you have been following my blog for awhile and read about the Washington Chainsaw Massacre of '08. The most frequent questions we are asked about giant pumpkin farming are "How do you move them,... Ted Smith - May 2, 2012 - 1:43 pm
I don’t like pumpkins, you creepy girl. Love always, June - October 6, 2009 - 2:11 pm
What a fun post, you master gardeners. I would definitely need a bigger garden. I’m not sure I could find a willing 7 yr old to gather the seeds. Mitzi Curi - October 4, 2009 - 4:49 am
Absolutely fascinating, Tiffany! Thanks for sharing your pumpkin with us. decorator fabrics - October 1, 2009 - 5:46 am
That’s huge! Honestly, it’s my first time to see those gigantic pumpkins. I also like the carving though it really looks like a crocodile and not a dragon, lol! Tiffany ~Shabby Scraps - September 30, 2009 - 10:40 am
Once the pumpkins are carved, the only last a few days or so before they start rotting and stinking!!! I am bummed I didn’t get a picture of the boy either, we got there just as he had climbed out!! packing supplies - September 30, 2009 - 1:47 am

HOW FUN!!!!! Ginny - September 24, 2009 - 11:17 pm
What a great post, I can’t believe this pumpkin, so they are grown as monsters – (meaning the seed) they wouldn’t grow like that in the wild then? Pony Girl - September 24, 2009 - 9:52 pm
Oh goodness! That is one B-I-G big pumpkin! drichards01@juno.com - September 24, 2009 - 9:07 pm

Holy cow, that is the largest pumpkin I have ever seen. Wish I could be there to touch it with my own two fingers! Loving following your blog. Becca - September 23, 2009 - 7:20 pm
How I love this post. I love county fairs and I didn’t know you guys were farmers!! Now you are my hero. And I thought your last post with your table at the French Flea Market was the best. (ok, it still is) The dragon is awesome. Can’t wait to see what yo are doing next. drichards01@juno.com - September 23, 2009 - 7:05 pm
Wow. I have seen pictures of pumpkins like yours up in Northern Calif., in Half Moon Bay. But yours seems really REAL!!! The ones I have seen are on postcards. Kinda makes you think of jack-a-lopes. Your husband made me a believer!!! Tiffany ~Shabby Scraps - September 23, 2009 - 5:09 pm
Hmmmmm, now that you mention it, maybe we should work on having the first Burro in space. My husband is a rocket scientist afterall!! (or at least he likes to think so!) Annette - September 23, 2009 - 5:05 pm
How much fun is that? We’ve never grown any pumpkin much less a huge one like your hubbys’. I wish you had a picture of the boy going in for the seeds. There is nothing quite like good, healthy fun! Jennifer Hayslip - September 23, 2009 - 4:41 pm
My goodness! That is one GIANT pumpkin! Is it on steroids? LOL!!! Sooo cool Tiffany! I had NO idea you guys grew pumpkins. Your hubby looked so proud!!! Seriously awesome how it was later carved into a dragon. Super fun post! Jeanne - September 23, 2009 - 3:46 pm

Hi Stefanie! Tiffany ~Shabby Scraps - September 23, 2009 - 2:42 pm
yes, my dear i think they would grow in NC! You need a growing season at least 3 months long (june july aug) with average temps over 78 degrees. As long as you have that, they will be happy! the warmer the weather the better! Debi - September 23, 2009 - 2:40 pm
Wow! Your husband DOES have big pumpkins! I love your title. sharron - September 23, 2009 - 2:26 pm
Way kewl!!! Eileen - September 23, 2009 - 2:13 pm

That was great. The carving awesome. I can’t even imagine a 900+ pound pumpkin:) stefanie - September 23, 2009 - 1:47 pm

Man! I wish I had gotten there earlier–I SOOOO want that bread box!! linda - September 14, 2009 - 3:17 pm
Can hardly wait for Funky Junk, should be a really fun show this time.  It was a sad, sad day for the world the day Rachel Ashwell announced her business woes. However, today is a happy day, for in the mail came her new book, much to my delight!! If you haven't seen or heard of it, you will. With one hundred and ninety pages of pure inspiration, each... Flower Patch Farmgirl - September 22, 2009 - 5:12 pm
Seriously – who among us was not (heavily) influenced by Ms. Ashwell? Years ago some friends and I went to Chicago and hunted down her retail shop. Even though she was nowhere around, I felt like I was visiting Mecca. Or Graceland. Tiffany ~Shabby Scraps - September 14, 2009 - 2:37 pm
Oh my goodness, that’s fabulous breaking news!! I certainly hope it is true and the economy picks up so it is long lasting. I have never been either, but certainly on my do before I die list! Destiny (The Ruffled Nest) - September 14, 2009 - 1:53 pm
I just read that Rachel Ashwell’s businesses (shops) are going to reopen! So…YAY for her! I’m so glad..not that I’ll ever get to visit them, but I’m just glad she’s back in the game ~ I love her! Tiffany ~Shabby Scraps - September 14, 2009 - 11:44 am
Thanks sweetie! I am really liking the new banner too! Tiffany ~Shabby Scraps - September 14, 2009 - 11:44 am

So nice to see you today. You are just as sweet as I knew you would be. And what an added treat to meet Deb. I rekindled my interest in Jenn’s event and after a glass of wine and much encouragement from my hubby I decided to sign up. Yay! Alice W. - September 12, 2009 - 6:59 pm

I had no idea about business woes…where in the world have I been? You have me excited about the book. She has such a lovely style and it is so soothing and relaxing to the eye, and I love how she combines things that are sentimental to her in her decorating. Pony Girl - September 10, 2009 - 9:38 pm
I can’t wait to see it, will have to check my local bookstore! I have ALL of her other books, she is my absolute favorite, the one that really awakened my love of interior design and decorating! Alison Gibbs - September 10, 2009 - 6:44 pm
