The Great Pumpkin Commonwealth (GPC), an international organization that hosts competitions for large fruits and vegetables, has created a dataset of weigh-off results for pumpkins, squash, long gourds, watermelon, tomatoes, field pumpkins, bushel gourds, and marrows submitted in this year’s competition. The dataset lists the fruit or vegetable’s weight, growers, location, rank, and lineage. According to the dataset, the largest pumpkin submitted in this year’s competition weighed about 2,650 pounds.
