Got a spare you can have, close to 800lbs. Since I'm in Canada and the Us. border guards are pretty reluctant to let any produce or beef across the border it will be pretty risky and with risk comes cost say $10.00 per lb. since I'll have to smuggle it across (no courier's will ship it)and tack on another $1,000.00 for the farmer I'll have to pay off to cross his land on the border. Plus add another $1000.00 for gas, hotel (can't drive tired), food and beer for the trip seeing as I'm going to be committing a crime I might as well be drunk when I do it so if I get caught I can use being drunk as an excuse.

So I can get you one for say $10,000.00 Us. but just remember I'll guarantee shipment and it will be cleaned and weigh-off ready, plus I'll include one of those pretty "Grown in Canada" stickers you American farmers like so much stuck to the side of the pumpkin.

Let me know....

How about a little ole 450 with a double stem split? It will likely double in the next fifteen days. Send money now so you are assured of a dandy. They tell me double stem splits double in the final days even during open trailer transportation :)

Ernie we could put wheels and TN plates on it and make it look like a camper. They are more interested in those potatoes any how. Shannon

Reminds me of an old Cheech and Chong movie.

Except as I remember...it was a bus and the Mexican border. Maybe a few other subtleties.....

I'm as willing to smuggle a pumpkin as the next guy, but before you drop some dough$$$ be sure to check if the weighoff rules require that you have grown your own pumpkin. I suppose though that if a person showed up to the pumpkin wieghoff drunk and unable to speak coherently, you could say that you don't remember who grew the pumpkin. Good luck.

lets see..cost would be prize money in pulaski,times shipping,insurance,handling,postage,and bother......
hmmmmm,,, grow ya own is the advice of cheech and chong...
and phoney pumpkins are never cost effective.

Giant. just stick on 4 tires and a bumper, paint it pink, and haul it over on a car trailer. or ship it ups. i hear dale jarrett is wanting a reason to race the truck.(it will probably go faster than his car anyway!)

blkcloud....if you can get hold of horse manure (a couple feet deep at least ) pile it on your "rocks" and you can grow a pumpkin! Our ground is very rocky and hard. We had an excess of horse manure and we piled it on our side hill below our deck. I planted A.G.'s in it three years ago. The first year I got a 135 pounder. We have piled on horse poop each year since...this year I have one OTT 260" about 360 pounds)....and that is big for this year's poor growing season! We also grow our garden in the stuff!

ahem,,,,,,
i find that tennessee has wonderful sun and rain.
and the trees in my patch reach 50ft in the air!

the hardpan soil mixes well with horse manure,peat,sand,charcoal,etc

try hill rows with good mixed soil.
i know there is a hollar or two near u,,
and those hollars have rich soil.

as far as manure goes tennessee has plenty of all three types
horse
cow
government

i know its not great lakes black gold...
but it mixes in good.
