The Atlantic Giant pumpkin, dubbed Walter, weighed in at a whopping 1,152 pounds — roughly the weight of a full-grown grizzly bear
From a seed the size of dime, Kerri van Kooten-Perras grew a monster pumpkin on a small patch at her Campbell River home.
It was enough to earn the Atlantic Giant pumpkin, dubbed Walter, the title of heaviest pumpkin in B.C. at the annual B.C. Giant Pumpkin Weighoff in Langley on Saturday. “After two years of an empty patch, I’m pretty happy with having something growing — introducing Walter,” said Kooten-Perras in a Facebook post.
In 2017, another one of van Kooten-Perras’s Atlantic Giant pumpkins placed third in the province, weighing in at 1,074 pounds.
