That's a pretty big, but not the biggest, pumpkin

Oh, yes, pumpkins can be some really big squash, and this one sets a new record weight in the UK.  TPP's Father once grew a pumpkin that was just a couple of hundred pounds, and it was huge.  TPP saw one at the Great Pumpkin Patch that was just 900 pounds.  Better have a big garden if you want to try to grow one of these.

Oh my. I cannot grow a Pumpkin that size in my tiny bit of sun. In fact, I don't grow Pumpkins for that reason. In a previous life, in a previous garden, though, we did have some impressive ones. Fun to read about and see the very large Pumpkins, though.
