I think that I am the only competitior, but maybe one of my friends will bring his pumpkins (i am even not shure if he has something in patch). The current record.. hm.. I don't knwo.. it MAY be my 70kg (154lbs), but we have 1st official weightoff now, so my biggest pumpokin will be official record (if I'll win...)

Jacek,
like for anything else, there needs to be someone who will start it all. In Poland that person might might be you and you should be pretty proud about that!
In the future, with better soil, good seeds and more experience, your personal best results can easily increase 150 lbs+ each season. Good luck and never forget you´ll get the best help here on BP.com!

Thanks. I am trying to make pumpkin growing more popular here. It will be second fall/winter when I'm sending lots of people here seeds for free. Last year I've send nearly 400 seeds away to 100 people. This yera I would like to double that number (I just need a lot of seed and envelopes).
I am proud of being pumpkin grower even when kids in my age find it... sick, weird :)
This year I also started writing articles to our school magazine.
