Great Pumpkin Contest - Mission Plaza





I went to the Great Pumpkin Contest in San Luis Obispo at the farmers market yesterday. The pumpkins were so large they took my breath away. I have grown pumpkins all my life... I've never had anything that even came close to these though.I took pictures so you could see them, but to be honest...they really are more spectacular in person.

  3. They really are amazing aren't they? What fun to go see them being judged. They are huge. I wonder how they grow them that big.., lots of fertilizer I would guess.
