Some people take their Great Pumpkin growing efforts quite seriously. So seriously they are willing to pay a colossal price for seeds.
Unless you are a pumpkin farmer or a hobbyist out to grow a super-sized pumpkin, you probably don’t have a clue what the seeds cost to grow these orange beauties.
I know I didn’t until I read about a man in Polson who grew Montana’s biggest pumpkin. His gigantic pumpkin smashed the previous state record by a whopping 111 pounds.
His is not the most gargantuan pumpkin ever grown however, as the world champion pumpkin weighed in at a massive 1,810 and ½ lbs. It was grown in Wisconsin. The winning seed from this mammoth was selling for an enormous sum – up to $2,600 for one seed.
