He always had a garden while I was growing up. It took up most of the backyard. One year he planted pumpkins and they grew so plentifully, the backyards three houses down had pumpkins in their backyard. Same with watermelon! We just told everyone, if it's in your yard, enjoy it... it's yours. (LOL) Dad was a Depression kid... so he had a lot of skills that unfortunately didn't "take" with us kids, much to my chagrin today.
