Imagine gaining a pound an hour. That was the growth rate of the 1,385 pound monster pumpkin that won Oregon’s Canby Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off last week. Grown by Steve Daletas, the five foot, five inch pumpkin was also named the world’s largest. It netted Daletas a $4,770 cash prize. He was at it again this past weekend, winning $5,900 in Half Moon Bay, California with a 1,180 pound giant. Organizers of that competition added a “Most Beautiful Pumpkin” category this year. It was won by a lovely fruit weighing a mere 514 pounds.
