I had the privilege of visiting John Wayne Brooks' patch today. He has some very nice pumpkins going. This one is taping at 659 lbs, grown from a 1085 Van Hook. It was started in the greenhouse, but the majority of the plant is growing outside of the greenhouse. John has lost some nice pumpkins in the past, but he's a tough old bird and keeps picking himself up, dusting himself off and jumping back in for more. He has grown some nice pumpkins and watermelons in the past, but is especially known for his squash. He has won the Allardt squash competition 4 times.
