A new personel best

My family has a giant pumpkin groing contest every year, but we've never gotten a true giant yet.

I had a good one on the vine, at the end of july it was maybe 100-125, we went away for the weekend and someone actually went into the garden and stole it. It had to take two guys to carry that out of there... It was the only pumpkin on the plant, so that sucked...

Nice Swimmer, look forward to the pics.

Do you just cull out to 1 on each vine?

These are Dill distributed seeds that come from known growers. I do cull down to just one fruit. All my vines split and the big one is growing on a secondary vine. Learned a lot this year. Got behind about five/six weeks because of screw ups. I am going to plant middle of April next year and cover/protect the plants really good. Vine borers almost did me in half way through the seaon. I am going outside to take pics now and will post. The big one is ten feet around which is small by most standards, but it is only my third year.
