and in Farmer Boy they grew a giant pumpkin. They chose the best little pumpkin on the vine, made a tiny cut into the vine, put a bowl of milk under it and put a wick into the milk and the other end into the little cut/slit. The pumkin drank it up and they did this for months until it was so big that in won a contest for the largest one.
