A man in Wisconsin grew a giant pumpkin estimated to weigh 1,800 pounds for local competition.
When it comes to growing pumpkins at Hillside Apples near Casco, Wisconsin, Bill Roethle has about 25 years of experience."We started these pumpkin plants in early April. Got them pollinated in mid and late June. They've been growing ever since," Roethle said."I have the genetic history on these. I know what pumpkins they came from," Roethle said. "The pumpkins receiving plenty of water and fertilizer are important factors for them to grow.
The giant is one of two displayed at hillside apples. It's become a popular attraction for many, including the Robinson family from Kewaunee."People driving by, obviously they're going to see the big pumpkins right away. So it's going to bring them in," Jeremy Robinson said. Another Kewaunee resident, Mary Robinson, said that these pumpkins are unique and different from any others, and they make you curious about how they are grown.
The giant pumpkin that belongs to Roethle is estimated to weigh as much as 1,800 pounds, waits for the Saturday weigh-in at the giant pumpkin fest in Mishicot. "I think this one could've been a couple hundred pounds heavier, if I'd done some things differently. It's exciting to get up in the morning and see what's going on in the pumpkin patch every day," Roethle said.
