My giant pumpkin, Kong is now at 400 lbs and I must get to 405 lbs by Friday AM (when I cut it off). 405 lbs would just barely beat the NM State Record (404 lbs) and the weigh-off is this Saturday in Colorado Springs. I just found out there is another official GPC weigh-off on Oct 16th in Boise City OK (which is actually closer) but last year I waited till a later weigh-off hoping to get more weight and missed it because of a blizzard here in Santa Fe and in CO and my weighing it here on a certified scale didn't count as it has to be weighed at one of the GPC (Great Pumpkin Commonwealth) events to count. That plus my giant pumpkin buddies are in Colorado. I am going by an older weight chart which puts Kong at the lowest weight (400 lbs now). If I go by the newer charts, I've already beat the record. I'm leaning to going anyway this weekend as I already have a truck lined up to borrow and 6 strong guys coming out on Friday to lift it in the truck for me. And who knows how long this beautiful weather will last. I also have a giant zucchini that I have to get weighed as well. At last week's weigh-off at Jared's (they have three of these official weigh-offs in CO) the biggest zucchini was 4 lbs-my biggest is around 50 lbs! What a quandry...Grow Kong, grow..
