It's a MONSTER!!! Imagine the sunlight, guarding against critters and all the TLC it took to create this, but it's going to the major Pumpkin Contest in Circleville, Ohio next and Michigan better win this contest.. Sources within the Morse family says it took 150 gallons of water a day to nurture this behemoth. Weighs in at 2,350 pounds and Mike Morse says it was gaining 50 to 80 pounds a day at the end.
