The Pumpkin Chronicles



I have forgot to mention what kind of pumpkin plants these two are...Atlantic Goliath Pumpkin. The top picture was taken on Tuesday May 19th and the next one was this morning. It grows inches every day! (Those are my wonderful father-in-law's legs in the picture.) Brian has been progressively growing them bigger every year. The biggest one in the Seehafer record book is 600 pounds! Brian is going for much bigger this year. He has invested in two good seeds from great pumpkin genetic lines. The record in 2007 was 1689 pounds by Joe Jutras from North Scituate, Rhode Island (info from www.pumpkinnook.com). I know Brian will want to tell everyone more about this. He wants to do "The Pumpkin Chronicles." He's very excited about this year!
