Giant Pumpkins-Lords of the Gourd

maryinoregon · September 21, 2007

I was watching a show on PBS tonight called, "Lords of the Gourd." At least I think that was what it was called. I missed the first few minutes. It was about giant pumpkin growers in New York state growing pumpkins to show at a giant pumpkin weigh-off in Cooperstown. Wondered if any of you New York growers were there? I did not recognize any names, but that doesn't mean anything. It was shot last year and has a copyright date of 2007, so it must have finished production fairly recently, in TV terms anyway. I really enjoyed it. I was just flipping through the dial and there it was. What a kick.

Anyone have any info about this competition? Participated in it? Mark?
