Enorme pampoen breek SA-rekord by fees in Heidelberg<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nDi\u00e9 bieliepampoen het ‘n nuwe Suid-Afrikaanse rekord opgestel, asook ‘n Suidelike Halfrond-rekord. Dit weeg net 57\u2009kg minder as die w\u00eareldrekord.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pieter Conradie, wat met wyndruiwe en artisjokke in die Nuy-omgewing boer, se pampoen het die derde plek behaal, met ‘n gewig van 793\u2009kg.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
John Booysen, ook van Nuy, het die tweede plek gekry met sy pampoen wat 816\u2009kg geweeg het.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Standard het met Conradie gesels oor wat dit verg om s\u00f3 ‘n pampoen te kweek.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPieter Conradie by die bielie van ‘n pampoen wat hom ‘n derde plek by die Heidelbergse Pampoenfees besorg het.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n“My pampoenreis het begin toe Piet Lotz vir my ‘n pampoenpit vir my dertigste verjaardag gegee het. Hy het ges\u00ea ek kan nou nie meer net praat nie, ek sal nou moet doen,” vertel Conradie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ek het vir John, wat op die plaas werk, gereeld gevra om te help om na die pampoene te kyk want dit is baie werk \u2013 so het hy ook betrokke geraak en begin plant. Ons werk nou so saam-saam.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Booysen het in 2024 ook ‘n tweede plek in die kompetisie behaal.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conradie s\u00ea daar heers groot spangees onder die pampoenkwekers en hulle moedig mekaar aan. “Ons droom daarvan dat die w\u00eareldrekord Suid-Afrika toe kom. As ek kyk na wat ons vermag met pampoene wat buite gekweek word, teenoor die Paton-broers in Engeland wat die w\u00eareldrekord hou en hul pampoene in kweekhuise met klimaatbeheer kweek, is ek vol vertroue dat ons die rekord nog gaan breek.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die afgelope seisoen of twee se onvoorspelbare weer met baie re\u00ebn en ho\u00eb temperature het sake bemoeilik.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die pampoene word gepamperlang \u2013 vandat die pit geplant is. Die regte kunsmis en hoeveelheid water is belangrik. Hoewel dit help as ‘n mens kennis het, kan nuwelinge steeds deelneem.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Mens leer elke seisoen iets nuuts en die ander kwekers is vrygewig met raad. Daar is egter geen resep wat noodwendig vir almal gaan werk nie.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Een van die senutergendste dele is wanneer die groot pampoene gelaai en Heidelberg toe vervoer moet word. Een jaar het ‘n pampoen, wat meer as ‘n ton geweeg het, met die optelslag gebars. Dit breek ‘n kweker se hart as baie maande se harde werk in ‘n oogwink tot niet is.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘n Harnas word om die pampoene gesit, waarna hulle versigtig met ‘n laaigraaf opgelig en saggies op ‘n matras agter op ‘n waentjie neergesit word.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Die rit tot op Heidelberg is nogal ‘n storie. Mens kan nie vinnig ry nie en die voertuie wat verbykom, is so gefassineer deur die groot pampoene wat ons sleep dat hulle nie kyk waar hulle ry nie!”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wat word van die pampoene wat ingeskryf word? ‘n Mens kan sekerlik net soveel pampoentert en pampoenkoekies maak? Volgens die feesorganiseerders word die wenpampoene oopgesny om die pitte te oes (dit dra goeie genetika). Die pampoen se vleis word gebruik vir veevoer of geskenk. Die pampoene is geneig om waterig en draderig te wees.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die saadmaatskappy Stark Ayres stoor die geoesde saad sodat die genetika bewaar bly. Die tipe pampoen wat mees algemeen geplant word, is die Giant Atlantic.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar is vanjaar 26 pampoene ingeskryf. “Dit is lekker om die nuwe inskrywings te sien,” s\u00ea Conradie. Oor hoe sy gesin oor di\u00e9 tydverdryf voel, lag hy net. “My sesjarige dogtertjie, Katrien, verstaan nie so lekker hoekom sukkel die klein pampoene in die winkel so nie.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
