Anyone with a green thumb will appreciate the time and dedication it took to nurture this tiny pumpkin seedling into a monstrous behemoth.

Matt Radach has uploaded a video showing timelapse footage of the growth of his 1,223-pound giant pumpkin.

The pumpkin seed used for this massive piece of produce came from a world record 2009-pound pumpkin from Rhode Island, and began it’s journey to greatness on April 7, 2014.

The young seedling can be seen gradually growing over the days and weeks before eventually being moved outside. Once in an outdoor environment, the leafy pumpkin plant continues to grow until finally breaking through the confines of its sheltered environment.

At last a small pumpkin appears, and begins ballooning in size over the summer until it’s ready to be shipped off to the Puyallup Fair in Washington State.

The massive pumpkin took home fifth place, losing out to a 1,609 pound first place pumpkin, but is still an impressive feat of gardening on a grand scale.
