I have a 125lb pumpkin which has basically stopped growing, and a surprise pumpkin to me that is sitting at 75lbs and is growing quickly. We'll see how long I can get some good growing weather. They are not huge, but they look nice and will be good for Halloween.

Hi there. I have one at 400 lbs and my other is around 308 lbs. Both mine are on the same plant. At the year end we (new growers) should have our own email weigh off. We all know who the winner is!! Carlos and his wife.
