It was our third year growing giant pumpkins. The first year we grew two pumpkins weighing in at 326 and 301 pounds. The second year we grew two pumpkins weighing in at 494.5 and 569 pounds. This year wasn't our best year but we got three pumpkins. Their weights were 386.5, 237, and 157 pounds. I thought I was on to something by bringing home the wasted parenteral nutrition bags from work and spraying them with it. In the end I think it wasn't such a great idea! We had a great family outing on Monday night and carved the ghost picture in the 386.5 pound pumpkin and tonight we carved Frankenstein in the 237. We think they look pretty good!
