Giant pumpkin contest!!

I'd say its got about another 25 days or so to ripen up with my weather. It's skin is still really smooth and you can actually see the bands of growth form each day.

he never had the crown for growing pumpkins, only $hit talking LOL

I was thinking I had missed the comp where he actually grew a pumpkin. Might be he talked about it so much he convinced himself that he grew one. :lol:

Cheers

I grew one and it was much bigger than hillbillys. Happy to pass on my crown to they who are deemed worthy.

well its setting the standard....a damn high one...lol

It looks like its sagging a bit, like a beanbag styled pump-throne.

I am still expecting a month+ before going all pollination....I can't take too much more of the pumpkin porn

What is the QLD record ?

or the Aussie record for that matter.

That's fucking awesome mate, well done. It's not even finished growing yet.

QLD record is 303kg but 330 for a squash (green / grey fruit, only orange and yellow are officially pumpkins.)

A guy out side of Byron has the record, its about 600kg I think. He owns a citrus farm I think near the Macadamia Castle.
