Joubert's biggest dream is to grow a 1-tonne pumpkin. 

"It's the Atlantic Giant pumpkin. 

"This is my second year growing pumpkins. Everything is about good genetics.

"One pumpkin seed will cost about R30,00. Every day you must take care of the pumpkin. 

"My target is to grow a 1-tonne pumpkin. I need more experience before I can grow it," Joubert.
