“#Utah pumpkin growers break record with 8 gourds over 1,000 pounds<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Cue the \u201cIt\u2019s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown\u201d jokes.<\/p>\n

Just in time to kick off the Halloween season, a group of Utah pumpkin growers held their annual giant pumpkin weigh-off. It turns out these people really know how to grow some massive gourds.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a good thing this year\u2019s weigh-off was social<\/a>ly distanced, as competitors needed the extra space to house one of the largest pumpkins reportedly ever grown in the state.<\/p>\n

The Utah Giant Pumpkins Growers<\/a> held its 16th annual weigh-off at Thanksgiving Point on Saturday and there were literally thousands of pounds of pumpkin being shown off. The winner, Dr. Mohamed Sadiq, showed off a pumpkin that reportedly weighed in at 1,825 pounds.<\/p>\n

According to the Utah Giant Pumpkin Growers, Sadiq\u2019s pumpkin is the second-largest pumpkin ever grown in the state and the largest ever grown outside of a greenhouse in the state. It was reportedly grown from a 1911 wolf seed and beat Sadiq\u2019s previous personal record by nearly 400 pounds. This is the second time Sadiq has claimed the top spot.<\/p>\n

Eight of the pumpkins submitted to the competition weighed in at over 1,000 pounds, setting a new state record, Fox 13 reports.<\/a><\/p>\n

For anyone interested in attempting to grow giant pumpkins, the pumpkin growers\u2019 website says there are four things you need: good seed, good soil, hard work and good luck. The site also recommends planting the seeds in indoor pots and transplanting them outside once the first true leaves app<\/a>ear. The Utah Giant Pumpkin Growers recommend placing a mini-greenhouse over the young plants to protect them from the elements.<\/p>\n

The site also says that it takes between 120 to 150 days for seeds to grow into giant pumpkins.<\/p>\n

Also, not surprisingly, giant pumpkins require a lot of water and a lot of manure, so prepare for that as well.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
