Congrads to breaking the Colorado State Record.
My pumpkin went down two days before the pickin.....Really a big bummer but Ill be back next year as I only had one and it was on one of Brooks seeds I want to try again next year so Brooks Ill give you an email.

the whiz told me folks didnt think I was for real, well it was 401 inches, but dont know if it would of weighed as heavy as the winner this year. Well, google colorado pumpkin, you can see my picture there.
