The largest weighed in at 265 lbs followed by 191 lbs, 165 lbs and a few throw backs. The challenge now is to store them off the ground until the local fair.
Lesson learned: Don't plant too early or be prepared to spend 8 weeks pampering your prizes to the first fair that comes along. These will be prizes for a neighborhood pumpkin carving contest I will throw the Saturday before Halloween. A couple will also make their way to the children's school and to a local nursing home.
