Kratz7's 100 pound pumpkin

[kratz7]

Hi everyone,

I went and phinally got ahold of a 100 pound pumpkin seed to plant. I didn't realize there was a special process to grow large pumpkins. So I think I'll pick up on the information on here and see what happens. Here's a phew photos of the progress:










I figured this plant would get too large for our gardens, so I planted it in my meighbor's yard. What a great guy......
He said "you can plant anything you want in my garden.....as long as you take care of it" lol He's an awesome guy.

Leaves as big as some of my squash leaves. Pretty impressive so far.

Very nice looking plant you have

Thanks everyone, I can only hope it will have at least one 100 ponder.....lol

We just had some rain come through, so I got a reprieve from Mother Nature and didn't have to water everything tonight. I'm sure it will have a "growth spirt".

Hi everyone,

The seed is just a 100 pound pumpkin seed, I received it from a seed swap last Fall. I would like to try the pumpkins next year too. So, can I save seeds from this pumpkin?

Here's a few more recent growth:

Man, how big a hole did you have to dig for that '100 pound' punkin seed? You outta get a 10,000 lbs punkin from that one seed.

Good luck and keep us posted with the ongoing results.

the answer to your question is YES, you can save the seed...


although, you'll need a BIG envelope to store a HUNDRED POUND SEED in...
