can you immagine the effort it would take just to get a 2,000 lb pumpkin out of your patch ?, much less finding a safe way to transport her ?

id be real happy just to increase my pb to the 1100 or 1200 lb range

is it possible for someone to grow a 2,000 lb pumpkin someday ? i doubt it, because every living thing including us human beings has its limitations

but, id love to see it happen and with the edcuation and research of plant and fruit biology out there someone will possibly find a way to engineer and alter the cell structure while at the same time maximizing the growing conditions to accomplish this
it will not happen in the patch but rather in a greenhouse fully automated and computerized to tend to every need as they arise

i just dont think the average everyday grunt ag grower like me will be able to do it ( and thats not a knock on me or anyone else as ive seen an awfull lot in the past 16 plus years of growing )

It's cool to see, some old names like Tremor on the screen. It amazes me he didn't even flinch one bit and said "it'll happen". I never thought it could be done, I still can't believe it.
