This weekend you will have Steve Connolly on the CBS Early Show talking pumpkins and doing a little carving as well.

Over at the New York Botanical Garden you are going to have a carve off with the big 3. This will feature Scott Cully carving the World Record.

Check out the video from the NYBG featuring Chris Stevens and Don Vanhoutte. I now know who is growing the first 2,000#er I guess I can retire now!!!

Keep your eyes open and your TIVO ready it looks like another big weekend for giant pumpkins.

I'll be in Central Park this weekend with my 1426, too. Jim Gerhard also has one on the Intrepid already I think.

Lots of big ones in the city this year.

i dont think in this neck of the woods that we could get any better press ( for both the grower and the organization ) then in the big city.

Steve switched to the slow carving method instead of the C4 approach Letterman likes.
