How cool would that be!
I don't think I will volunteer my services. As this is going to be my first year at trying to grow a giant. I will be very happy if I get it over the 15kg mark as I've only ever grown small sugar before at around 6 /7 kg .

I'd be happy growing a pumpkin, any pumpkin let alone a mahoosive one.
