Mammoth Jap Pumpkin

I picked my giant Jap this morning and it weighed in at 9.1kg. Not bad for a pumpkin that is usually on the smaller side. Thankfully I've been working on building my arm strength with my personal trainer. Otherwise I might have had trouble even bringing it in from the garden!!! LOL.

Here is a photograph of it next to a Jap about the size I would expect them to be.


I hope it's tasty because we'll get a few meals out of that one!!!! :-)

At this week's prices ($1.49/kg) that's $13.55 worth of pumpkin!!!! That'll help with this week's $25 challenge won't it.

Pumpkin soup, here we come. :-)

Holey moley, that's some pumpkin!
And flower shaped to boot. I'm impressed. Even more impressed that you lifted it yourself.
Maybe I should give the gym another think........
