I am always confused at those giant vegetables competitions. Why a normal pumpkin plant would generate a massive pumpkin randomly? What happens in the plant to allow for this?
Maybe an actual farmer will chime in but huge pumpkins aren’t on accident. The plant is huge and healthy. Appropriate amounts of fertilizer. The huge pumpkin gets shaded. Lots of water. And most importantly every other competing pumpkin on that plant is cut off.
