Well, numerous people have asked me how I'm going to get this big pumpkin to the fair & all I can do is shrug my shoulders. Help! How do you lift a giant pumpkin into the back of a pickup truck? Do I need a pumpkin Tarp? How do you get the tarp under the pumpkin & then how do you lift it? My baby is progressing well (knock on wood). He's at an estimated weight of approx. 400 lbs. Growth has slowed (but he's still growing) & he's starting to get a little color. I'm so very proud that I've come this far with my first real attempt at growing a giant pumpkin. I couldn't have done it without all you guy's help! Thanks :-) Bev from N.C.
