There will be 10 seedlings given-away, along with basic guidelines for having a successful pumpkin. These plants will have the genetics to grow larger than 1000 pounds. Seedlings will be distributed around the first week of May. Growers are asked to document their adventure and have a little presentation (you know, like photographs on a posterboard or something) they can display at the 2024 Pittsburgh County Fair as we do our weigh off (also their pumpkin too if it’s able to make the trip. It’s understood that anything can happen). We will also be helping support the endeavour with informational emails, reminders, and even possibly some materials like compost. Prizes to the biggest pumpkins! Growers must live in the City of Pittsburgh. Or close enough to the border that you can throw a baseball across it.
