My entry, not a winning size, nor the prettiest. It's an Atlantic Giant, my first attempt at Pumpkin growing, so pleased it made it to 39 inches or 990.59mm

Please note if you think you stand a chance of winning the biggest pumpkin - it is size and not weight we are measuring  and...........

Please show the measurement, with photo to prove it, by 31st October

[jmc1949]

That's what I've done.

Full marks for reading the instructions  but a few people, who posted before you, haven't

How do you measure prettiness Mum?

[wasthiswise]

I only gave measurement on the largest pumpkin I had. The other photos are for their aesthetic qualities.. hoping there might be a winner for beauty.

Did they get planning permission to grow that?

[blackberryjam]

Wow. that would have taken up most of my plot.

[mumofstig]

I think Guinness Book is out of date.  2009 lbs is the world record now?

If the Guinness record people weren't there to check the weighing - then I don't think they will recognise it!

This one was even heavier 

a giant pumpkin from the valley set a world record during a weigh-off at Morgan Hill in the South Bay.

The pumpkin, grown for 105 days in a backyard in east Napa, tipped the scale at 2,032 pounds
