This was reported on the “Week” program on STV. The giant was showcased at an agricultural fair. And to deliver the vegetable to the regional center, special equipment had to be used.

This pumpkin will definitely not turn into a carriage, but it can certainly pick up another 30 kilograms. Here is one seed. First a tiny sprout appears, like a seedling, and then all of this comes from a single seed, just so you understand. It requires care like a small child. You really have to tend to it. There are certain agricultural technique secrets. From fertilizers – potassium, calcium, phosphorus. The pumpkin has to be protected from excessive sun: because of it the skin can become rough, which hinders the fruit from growing further.
