The Dibley family have proved they are no slouches when it comes to growing giant pumpkins.
The Oturoa Rd clan are quietly forming a dynasty of pumpkin-growing prowess among the close-knit farming community.
Senior pro Mark, his wife Sophie and father Eddie duly stepped up to the plate yesterday at Brownie's annual giant pumpkin weigh-in to snare three of the top four placings - including first and second.
The proceeds - $1000 - were donated to the Rotorua Hospice.
The family affair saw Mark's orange monster take out first prize, weighing in at 169kg.
