That pumpkin could be your house!

We have a guy near here that grows small pumpkins, his top out at just over 1600 pounds.

Fling a 1600 lb or 1 ton pumpkin?

No. No flavor. They become fodder for the piggery. Makes the pork taste sweet. They do save the seeds for next year. They do sell some of the seeds for a goodly sum. The rest they keep for themselves.
