It take about 8-10 months to grow the pumpkins that big. The start growing them in a greenhouse and then move the outside to the garden. The fertilze and water everyday. Towards the end of growing season the have to keep rolling the pumpkins around so they do not start to rot.

That's crazy Crushing a car with it would definitely make it worth it though!
