Theresa recently had a 'huge' day with her 1900 pumpkin, she won second place at the Illinois Giant Pumpkin Growers weigh-off, but more importantly, she won a title for herself.

Theresa holds the record for the largest pumpkin grown by a woman in our state in Illinois!

Her pumpkin, 'Miss Impressive,' weighed in at 1900 pound.

Theresa told WIFR TV that she spends a lot of time each day caring for her pumpkins, in fact almost 3-4 hours each day to make sure these pumpkins are big and strong.

'Miss Impressive,' isn't the only big guy she grew this year, she also raised two other pumpkins this season, 'Chalky' and 'Tator Tot.'

Get this... each pumpkin can grow almost 60 pounds each day! Truly Miss 'Impressive,' am I right??
