Giant pumpkin on display at Real Estate Cafe in Grants Pass, Oregon! Enter Jim Coons, a former Realtor turned gardener in Grants Pass, Oregon.
A friend gave Jim a starter plant of the Atlantic Giant pumpkin variety. Coons has grown pumpkins in the past and he said some other varieties won him two pumpkin contests sponsored by Chet's Garden Center in Grants Pass, Oregon, but none were this big. This whopper pumpkin weighs in at 270 pounds!
The giant pumpkin will be decorated as a scare crow and displayed in front of Real Estate Cafe in Grants Pass, Oregon.
Wow, cool, thank you for the posting, Melinda!

That is huge, but looks a little sad as to its shape, LOL.
I know it is a funny shape. We are thinking of standing it straight up and painting a bikini on it. Hhhhmmm, a 270lb pumpkin in a bikini...should turn some heads :)
