Growing a Giant Pumpkin

Ron Wallace of Rhode Island grew a 1223-pound pumpkin in 2014. Better yet, he chronicled the whole thing in a time-lapse video! Let's see... he started the seed early, then moved it to a raised bed filled with no doubt perfect soil, built a greenhouse over the top, regulated its sunlight and shade, and provided it a nice clean porous mat to grow on. Well done! (via Nag on the Lake)
