I did this for the first time in 2017, and then I grew Russia's first giant pumpkin. This year I will try to be less lazy and take regular notes. A lot has changed over the years. In 2024, I grew the heaviest pumpkins in Russia, weighing 1801lb and 1700 lb, among others. I don't want to stop there, and this year my goal is to break the 2205lb mark. To do this, I am building a greenhouse and have acquired many good seeds. My favorite will be the 2365 wolf seed. I'll show you the other seeds later. Also this year, I am the co-organizer of the Russian Giant Pumpkin Growing Championship, the final of which will be held in the first half of September. � Tuesday, January 28 View Page My pumpkins of 2024 663.5 Chusov 2024 (970 Schlaefke х 2319 Stoeckl) 150 Challenge � Tuesday, January 28 View Page 699 Chusov 2024 (2319.3 Stoeckl х Self) � Tuesday, January 28 View Page 1115.5 Chusov 2024 (1042.8 Molek x 2319.3 Stoeckl) � Tuesday, January 28 View Page 1700 Chusov 2024 (893 Chusov x 2319 Stoeckl) � Tuesday, January 28 View Page 1801 Chusov 2024 (2183 Mendi x Self) Russian largest pumpkin � Tuesday, January 28 View Page HA HA � Tuesday, January 28 View Page And now I want to show you some photos from the exhibition of giant pumpkins in the Moscow Botanical Garden. � Tuesday, January 28 View Page more photo � Tuesday, January 28 View Page more photo � Tuesday, January 28 View Page more photo � Tuesday, January 28 View Page more photo � Tuesday, January 28 View Page And this is me and my onion, which weighed 7.3lb.
