One of the goals of Team-Pumpkin is to educate people about what it takes to grow a giant pumpkin. At the fairs, to reduce repeat questions from visitors large (4ft x 8ft) custom outdoor grade vinyl signs with gourmets were created and have proven very effective and well received. The quality photos and short descriptions help people understand some of the main points of the growing season. Also, having the large images helps to show people some key aspects of the growing phases and this is something I would recommend any group invest in that has public interaction.
This entry shows one of the signs used along with some of the story behind the image that pumpkin growers may appreciate.
Specifics of This Sign Are…
Giving people an idea of how fast these pumpkins can grow is important because some think it takes years to grow a giant pumpkin. This shows just how big a pumpkin can be in July.
Also, the umbrella is the source of some questions since many people want to know, why is it there? I use the umbrella to help keep the stem dry. In addition the umbrella also serves as a relative size comparison to the next growing season progression image.
