Eliza, Dottie, Allie, and John Gaylord wanted to grow some giant pumpkins this year, but they never imagined that the seeds they bought off the internet would work! Check out these photos that the Gaylord family sent us.

“We have 3, 200-300 lb pumpkins, two white and one orange. We ordered the giant pumpkin seeds off the Internet on billsbigpumpkins.com and had really put a lot of effort into planting them this year; it is an annual thing my family does. Randy and Keith Kingery brought their front end loader and helped us bring down the heavy load of pumpkins.”

If you want to send your photos to be featured in SWoCo, email them to news@swo-co.com. We love to hear from you!
