“Pumpkins are Orange” (1997)is a hilarious book about growing giant pumpkins. If you’ve ever grown a giant pumpkin, you know how easy it is to become fanatical about growing “the big one”. This humorous story is about a man who thinks he knows everything and his pursuit to grow a prize-winning giant pumpkin. BTW: This book chronicles the hilarious effort to grow a 1,000-pound or more giant pumpkin. When it was written, a 1,000-pound fruit was considered huge. Now, growers are trying to grow the first 3,000-pound pumpkin. And, they are getting close. See the world record for giant pumpkins.
Jack Breckenridge (1920 – 2007) is the author. This dentist turned author is a wonderful gentleman. Also, Jack is the author of several other humorous books.
When we began to create this website, I had the distinct pleasure of talking to Jack a few times. He displayed a wonderfully likeable personality. Jack encouraged me in my efforts to create Pumpkin Nook. Then in doing so, he created the two funny comics below. It was Jack’s way of encouraging me to “Keep up the good work”.
.Ps You have to be an avid giant pumpkin grower to appreciate the humor of these two comics.
We thank Jack Breckenridge, author of “Pumpkins Are Orange” for these funnies. Unquestionably, this book is a great contribution to the world of pumpkin growing
