Dr. Bill's Pumpkin Patch

The Pumpkin Cam is off-line for this year. We are moving to a new home and leaving the old patch behind so there will be no updates (or even a pumpkin) for the summer of 2002. Best Wishes to all the other growers for a great season! Check back in 2003.


Kournikakis 462 - 6th place at Smoky Lake .

Welcome to my Pumpkin Patch! My name is Bill Kournikakis and I am a Defence Scientist working at the Defence Research Establishment Suffield . I having been growing giant pumpkins in Medicine Hat , Alberta since 1994. In 1997 I grew a 449.5 pound pumpkin that came in 11th place at the weigh-off in Smoky Lake, Alberta. In 1998 I was on track to beat that until a small hole and rot set in that ruined a 508 pounder (unofficial weight) in August. In 1999 I finally passed the 500+ mark (officially) with a 553.5 pound pumpkin that won 3rd place at Smoky Lake.
