  • Largest Jarrahdale pumpkin Ever? (Accidentally!)
    I’m absolutely shocked. I grew Jarrahdale pumpkins for the first time ever this year and I accidentally grew a 38.8 pound pumpkin! Most of my others are around 12-15 lbs, it says online that 18 lbs is normally the biggest they get, another lady on Reddit posted her 22.5 lb one a couple years ago. […]
