Giant Pumpkins NZ

Hamilton - New Zealand

Hi, you have probably heard that Tim (Mitlem) was the first man to paddle in a giant pumpkin this week here in NZ.

There was crazy media attention about it, which is great for promoting the growing of giant pumpkins here in NZ.

Here is a post with photos and video of the day:
