We carved last Sunday at my grandson's birthday party. I brought one home. I want to get some to roast and roast the seeds. They are so good for us!

I've heard that 1 seed sells for over $100 for those kind of pumpkins (I haven't actually looked to see if it's true or not). I also heard that is a tremendous amount of work to grow them. They sure are amazing but I don't think I need that much pumpkin LOL! I wonder how many pies one of those could make?
Do you know what that guy does with them, Debbie? |

Wow Debbie K, that pumpkin is about big enough for Cinderella’s carriage, lol. |

It looks like it could be a carriage! I’m not sure what he does with his pumpkins besides entering them in contests?? |
