Picture of the Day: Growing Giant Pumpkins

The status of the pumpkin this afternoon

A neighbour has become really good at growing really big pumpkins and he's hoping to do it again this year.

Last October his 1,161-pound squash called "Orangina" won the biggest pumpkin title at the BC Giant Pumpkin weigh-off at Krause Berry Farms in Langley.

The same one over two weeks ago

Over two weeks ago I went to check out his pumpkin patch and there were several contenders to choose from.

But this afternoon I made another visit and saw this giant white one, while the others weren't as big.

We'll be watching to see how big this one grows!
