Vanjaar was dit \u2019n Gautenger se pampoen, Soufie, wat op die jaarlikse Vrede-reuse-pampoenfees as die wenner gekroon is. Di\u00e9 bielie het die skaal op 631 kg laat kreun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pampoene is van wyd en syd gebring na die fees wat op 15 April by die Vrede-gholfklub aangebied is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die 34-jarige Wykus Lamprecht van Meyerton s\u00ea dit was vanjaar die agtste seisoen dat hy reuse-pampoene gekweek het om aan kompetisies deel te neem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Lamprecht word die saad in September geplant, en teen Desember word die jong pampoenplantjie bestuif. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit neem sowat 160 tot 170 dae, met behulp van goeie bemesting, voeding, die regte hoeveelheid water en gereguleerde temperatuur, om reusagtige pampoene te kweek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soufie was Lamprecht se tweede wenpampoen vir di\u00e9 seisoen. Vroe\u00ebr het hy met Liesbet aan die Pretoria-boeremark se Goliat van Gat-pampoenfees deelgeneem, en Liesbet het \u2019n volle 890 kg geweeg en die titel as kampioen verwerf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soufie was die vierde grootste pampoen wat Lamprecht al gekweek het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOm Soufie in een stuk op die Vrede-fees te kry was \u2019n uitdaging,\u201d vertel hy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk moes spesiaal \u2019n sleepwaentjie huur om die pampoen te vervoer en \u2019n hyskraan met \u2019n harnas om die pampoen te laai.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die rit na Vrede was spanningsvol vir die trotse pampoenkweker, weens die swak toestand van die paaie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eindelik moes hulle \u2019n ompad ry \u2013 boonop baie stadig en versigtig. Die bykans 170 km het hulle \u2019n volle drie uur geneem om af te l\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk was verbaas en geskok om te sien in watter swak toestand die paaie in die Vrystaat is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lamprecht s\u00ea vir hom is dit belangrik om vir al die pampoene name te gee en om hulle te vertroetel en te versorg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die grootste pampoene wat hy al gekweek het, is: Liesbet, wat 890 kg geweeg het; Barbie, van 846 kg; Johanna, van 790 kg; en dan Soufie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie pampoene is amper soos jou troeteldiere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJy vertroetel en gee liefde, en dit is baie genotvol wanneer jy sien hoe die pampoen groei in elke fase.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soufie se naam is afgelei van di\u00e9 van die moederpampoen, Sofia. Lamprecht het die saad van Sofia gebruik om Soufie te kweek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sofia was in 2022 die pampoen van Willem le Grange van Ruiterbos in die Wes-Kaap. Hy hou steeds die rekord vir die swaarste pampoen \u2013 Sofia het 904 kg geweeg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is Lamprecht se droom om \u2019n pampoen van 907 kg te kweek. Dan sal hy vir \u2019n internasionale eerbewys kwalifiseer en met \u2019n spesiale baadjie of lapelwapen vereer word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs die pampoen-gogga jou eers gebyt het, is daar probleme en raak jy nie maklik van die stokperdjie, of moet ek s\u00ea stres-perdjie, ontslae nie,\u201d meen Lamprecht. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is nou winter, so ons rus \u2019n bietjie, maar ek is reeds besig om die grond reg voor te berei en om te besluit op die gene en saad wat ek in die nuwe seisoen gaan gebruik.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die reuse-pampoene word gewoonlik vir liefdadigheids\u00adorganisasies en instansies soos kinderhuise of ouetehuise gegee, of word aan veeboere as voer geskenk. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
