My brother grew this pumpkin. It must weigh a few hundred pounds. Actually he had two big ones. I can only imagine how many seeds this guy must have had. It took both John ,my nephew, and my brother to get him in the house. Check out the results....Art didn't grow them, but he cooked pumpkins today and made pies. I have seeds to cook, and enough pumpkin left to make bread or my favorite pumpkin cake.
