New state record pumpkin

[wiperhunter2]

Yea, grown in a green house but he does not start until April, the same time I start my garden. One of the problems with those big pumpkins is rot, so when it was smaller, around 200 lbs, we moved that one onto a mat, so it does not touch the ground. I had not seen it in months when my wife and I went in and took those pics. He claims they grows 50 lbs a day, during the season, which starts toward the end of April and ends toward the end of Sept. Just talked to the guy that grew the pumpkin, he said it weighted in at 1974.
