One of the entries for this year is international. This is an email (courtesy of Goober) sent from one of the growers' sons (This guy is Framer Franks son, in the Air Force, on loan to the Army, stationed on top of a mountain in Afghanistan.)
I know it is a late-start but I want to throw my hat in and add an international element to the great pumpkin contest '07. One of my roommates is a Department of Agriculture rep and after assisting him with clearing a plot of land of landmines for his garden (by running around and stomping hard with steel toed boots) we've agreed to grow pumpkins. I don't think our mujhadin security guards have ever seen a pumpkin, so I'm afraid we might start a pumpkin craze. (Until a pumpkin is used as an IED), I think it's open season for pumpkin growing.

Dad, can you spot me an afghan handicap and send some prized seeds?
