DVD Reviews of The Pursuit of Excellence: Lords of the Gourd

DVD Review: Entertaining and Educational
Summary: 5 Stars

This video does a top notch job at capturing the trials, tribulations and elation that can be part of raising a giant pumpkin and entering it into a competition. Very funny at times--the producer did an excellent job in relaying the dreams and nightmares of these pumpkin growers as the season progressed.

There is some how-to information, but this is mostly individual growers preferences. It is nice to see the contrast in techniques because it highlights that there are many ways to approach raising a prized fruit.

I'm going to try my hand at a Dill's Atlantic Giant pumpkin this year, so I'll be re-watching this video through the season for inspiration and an idea here and there.
