Don't know about weight, but they are about as big around as the 15lber I picked earlier. Will weigh at work later this week. I may have a sleeper though, a sugar pie pumpkin that's huge for one of those, and it feels HEAVY.

Weighed the biggest pumpkin this week on the scales at work, 26.4 lbs. Anyone top that? Looks to be the biggest at work, all I need now is the Buckwild Trophy!

Here is my pumpkin....Harvested a bit earlier than I liked, but I had 6-7 watermelons (all around 100 pounds each) stolen from me last week. Pumpkin weighed 99 pounds. Couldn't get that extra pound to get into triple digits. Free watermelons to anyone who would like some.

Way to go Frank, that's impressive! My ground got another salt dosing from Hannah tides, isn't going to help me any for next year. And I got beat at work, too. Art had one just over 29 lbs... By the way, cool hat. Think we'll change your name to HeeHawHunter. ;D

Thanks. You were growing a different variety though. I've got a few more still waiting for harvest that are a different kind than those. What kind were yours?

I had sugar pumpkins (small) and Big Max for our contest. Are those the Atlantic Dill giants?

The big one is. (Should have been bigger, but I had a late start since my vines kept being eaten by grubs). The others in the picture are volunteers that came up in my dad's garden this year from a pumpkin that was left to rot last year - who knows what they were.

Frank, I can't believe that somebody would rip off pumpkins! That's LOW! And it looked to be such a sincere punkin' patch! And looking at your pic, is anyone else reminded of this: SA-LUTE! Any photoshoppers out there? He'd fit right in. ;D

I wonder if he'll ride his Big Ox to the county fair with that pumpkin? ?
