I kept my pumpkin pictures from the State Fair separate from the others. Why? Because Miss Priss and I are studying The Pumpkin Runner
Who knew pumpkins could get this big? Maybe that’s the reason Cinderella rode in a pumpkin coach? Do you think maybe someone was growing large pumpkins even way back then?
My! 466.8 pounds. No wonder they don’t want anyone to touch these. Can you imagine the care that went into keeping this thing evenly watered and pest-free while it was growing?
Pumpkins! Look at the variety — the textures, the color. I think pumpkins are one of the prettiest sights of the season. It’s one of those “little things” we can be thankful for. In our culture — in many a childhood — pumpkins are a big part of fall.
Ooooooooooooh, look at the little teeny pumpkin.
And more little pumpkins.
I had to save this big daddy for last. 612 pounds 8 ounces!! Grown in Lexington, North Carolina. Wow!
Just as an aside, NPR had a pretty neat story about pumpkin growers in the northeast and their exploding pumpkins. Growing very large pumpkins takes a lot of care.
We hope you enjoy our pumpkin pictures.
Hugs,
Lynn
