When I was about 9 we moved from TX to OH, and my dad dug up a space for a vegetable garden. He dug up a tiny space, 4' x 4', for me also, and I planted a pumpkin seed. One day he said to me "you have a pumpkin growing!". My pumpkin only grew to about 6" long, but I loved it. That is what got me started. A couple of years later, I was selling my own pumpkins to the neighbors for Halloween because I grew so many!
