GIANT pumpkin grower Paul Latham, from Australasian Giant Pumpkin and Vegetable Supporters, visited Tooradin Primary School last Friday to help plant giant pumpkins in the school’s Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden. Students were fascinated to learn how to grow these monster plants, and have already started a diary to keep track of their progress.
They hope to grow an enormous pumpkin to enter into the Parklea Pakenham Show Society’s Giant Pumpkin Competition on 21 March.
