I have Hundred Weight pumpkin seeds and intend to try and grow some
whoppers with the kids this year. Does anyone have any tips on growing
giant pumpkins they'd like to share?


Have a big yard.

I was going to try too. I had some home roasted pumpkin seeds last year
that were coated in olive oil and roasted in the oven on aluminum foil until
toasty. Awesome. Same person made a couple of pumpkin pies.


I layer shelled pumpkin seed on in a toaster over. Light sprinkle of
soy sauce. Then abour 400 F. till the snapping is almost done. Better
to err on the early side. Addictive.
