I promise this is the last picture of the 972 you will have to endure. We had a tough season with all the disease issues this year. This season had me expecting the next disaster every time I went to the patch, so I can't say it was one of my more enjoyable years of growing. We have savored this pumpkin after growing it. My wife has taken it to a local nursing home and to the elementary school she used to teach at. A 972 doesn't even make a ripple in the pumpkin world, but it is still an amazing thing to see in person for most people.
We love to drive it through parking lots and see peoples' reactions when they realize what they just saw. It's also fun to go out to eat and get a table where you can watch people reacting to the pumpkin. It's probably on a lot of peoples' Facebook pages, judging by how many times it has been photographed. Thanks 972 for the memories, and for taking several years off my life.
