I'm new to growing Giant Pumpkins, this will be my first year. Although I am an adult, gardening is something that my dad & I actually do together & we are very excited about our first attempt at growing giants. We have "real" seeds & are working to get everything prepped for our first attempt!

I've been reading on the boards & keep seeing Bear Wallow in Kentucky mentioned. I give up... what is it?

Thanks!

Bear Wallow is a farm that hosts a weigh off in Nancy, KY

Bear Wallow was the first weigh off I ever went to, and is what encouraged me to seriously try growing a giant :)

Bear Wallow farm has an awesome pumpkin cannon and a corn maze that takes 5 hours to get out of!

Thanks Wayne! I think we will definitely be making a trip your way this fall. It's not quite 2 hours from us, so that's an easy drive!
