Howard Dill Tribute > What can you say about a man who grows the largest pumpkins in the world? If perhaps you happened to have no knowledge of growing vegetables and genetic plant biology the answer for most would be fairly simple. However for those more inclined to understand the intricacies of the Dills, Atlantic Giant Pumpkins (AGP) the answer swells to a topic that reaches beyond comprehension of folks who trod about their daily chores.
You see, it’s obvious to me that the father of The AGP, Howard Dill spawned a new revolution when for years he toiled with a few seeds in his backyard. The revolution I’m talking about is now a throng of growers that includes the best of gardeners right on down to the happy youngsters that form 4H clubs across the continent who fling the Dill seeds earthward. From, hobbyist and expeierenced and to those just wishing to grow a sizable porch decoration on October 31st, Howard Dill has decorated us all. He has for more than a generation helped us to adorn our gardens with the largest vegetable mankind can produce.
