Default Giant Atlantic Pumpkins!

This year on my allotment i want to grow a "Giant Atlantic Pumpkin"
with my 8yr old son, and he would like to enter it into a local
competition, and any money he gets from winning he wants to donate to
a charity, Guide Dogs for the Blind, as i am going blind. Any tips or
hints on how to grow the biggest from seed would be very appreciated!
Cos we want to win! Thanks.


My 7 year old grandson grows pumpkins and other veg for the local flower
and veg show, he usually wins so I will ask him what he does that is
special, that is if he will tell me :-) It is good to see the youngsters
keen to grow isn't it :-)
