Pumpkins, Pumpkins, and more Pumpkins

By John Walters on Thursday, October 31, 2002.

Three short interviews and a story about the ubiquitous vegetable. We meet a New Hampshire man who this month set a new world record for the biggest pumpkin ever, a scientist at UNH who's developing new pumpkin varieties, and a farmer and dentist who built a catapult over two years and at a cost of $20,000 to launch pumpkins and promote his farm stand. Also, we hear a pumpkin story from writer Rick Agran. A pumpkin grower, thrower, breeder, and reader today on the Front Porch.
