We have been very lucky this week, Paige brought in a Giant Pumpkin that she has grown. She also shared some interesting information with us.
Here it is:
This is my Giant Atlantic Pumpkin. The heaviest Giant Atlantic Pumpkin on record weighed 776kg. It was grown in Rhode Island in 2007. These pumpkins are not edible. If you would like to have a pumpkin growing competition please let me know so I can save some seeds for next spring. Did you know a pumpkin is a fruit not a vegetable? They need a lot of watering and feeding. Dad helped me make up a fertilizer food for my pumpkin which was made up with chicken poo and water. Any questions please?
The children had great questions for Paige and liked the idea of chicken poo fertilizer.
Thank you Paige.
