Some fans are on an around-the-clock PumpkinTok vigil for the 136-kilogram specimen, which even has its own Spotify playlist
A Fernwood woman with a green thumb, social-media savvy and a desire to bring the neighbourhood together has banished the family car from her home’s driveway to make room for a giant pumpkin that weighs 136 kilograms — and is still growing.
Last year she grew one that was 68 kilograms, but that wasn’t enough for her. This year, in an attempt to go big — really big — she enlisted the help of Dave Chan of Richmond, B.C.’s record-holding giant-pumpkin grower, and Victoria’s Bryan Sloat, whose pumpkin won grand prize at the Saanich Fair. As a trauma-recovery practitioner, she believes people’s mirror neurons fire — releasing endorphins — when they see the joy on her face when talking about her pumpkin. “It’s cheaper than other types of therapy, that’s for sure.”
