It is always nice to have some extra help in the patch, especially when picking pumpkins. Here is Dawn Northrup who came all the way from Canada to Connecticut to pick my pumpkin. (Well, something like that.)

Pictured here is the official Team-Pumpkin pumpkin lifter. We had both the tripod and pumpkin lifter going today. Both methods worked just fine, but what I like about the pumpkin lifter is that it can be done 100% by one person. This pumpkin was a close fit and that is why you see the carpet and foam to prevent the pumpkin from getting scratched as it is lifted up.

(I am just looking busy, Dawn is really doing all the work.)
