Steve Connolly is the proud grower of a 1,878-pound giant pumpkin at his home in Sharon, Mass. His pumpkin, if it makes it to competition, it's likely to break the record. The pumpkin is growing 11 pounds per day and had a circumference of 198 inches on Thursday. Check out some more giant pumpkins from New England and even around the world.
