Giant Pumpkins in Goffstown

The giant Pumpkins were out at Goffstown's 250th celebration last weekend. James and Jason's Mammoth Pumpkin came in at about 70 pounds, maybe next year guys... The vines spread out in 4 different directions of about 30 feet, we didn't do anything fancy other than water, some hand pollinate, some pluck all but one Pumpkin from the vines so the plant focuses all of it's energy on the one pumpkin, etc. Maybe we'll try some those ideas next year.
