The Year We Grew Our Own Pumpkin

I want to say it was the fall of 2013. We planted some giant pumpkin seeds in the backyard and let them go all summer. By September the vines had covered 75% of the yard and swingset but the pumpkin grew to about 91 pounds. It was crazy fun, but the next year we wanted the yard back.

Growing Pumpkins in Colorado

The largest pumpkin ever grown in Colorado weighed 1,729 pounds and was weighed at the Fort Collins Nursery’s annual Great Pumpkin Weigh-Off last year. Growing pumpkins in Colorado means planting by mid-May and allowing about 120 days for them to get as large as they can.
