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?


Good deep soil with lots of manure, full sun, plenty of water especially
when it is hot, mulch well, long hot growing season and keep the fungi at
bay. Thin out the set fruit to only a small number.
