This weekend we ventured to Duisburg, a small town just 3 km from Tervuren, where supposedly some farmer had grown the biggest pumpkin in the world in 2005 (but the internet claimed otherwise, so I don't know who/what to believe anymore). We had to check it out. Yes, as you can see by the look of those mamas sitting behind us, they were huge. If they were hollowed out, the kids could've climbed inside and played house! Now that would be a fun + practical way to use them. But come to think of it, what do they do with these silly things after weighing them? Use them as lawn ornaments? Practice drawing still lifes?
It just seems funny to me that this is the second time our family has lived within biking distance of FAT pumpkin growers (Canfield, Ohio has several pumpkins in the 1,000+ pound club!). It seems like a strange hobby to me, esp. since you can't eat those things. Or are they edible? Maybe I ought to organize a pumpkin carving contest next year!
