As I continue to research and learn, there are some things that I am going to try that will be different from my first year. Since I tried to keep the first document tailored to new growers, I have decided to continue my information sharing in this blog.
Check out the video of me loading my pumpkin with the tripod.
I started growing Atlantic Giant Pumpkins in 2010. They are so amazing to grow that I have spent several hundred hours reading everything I can find to help me to be successful. I grew 2 plants, one of which produced an 1180 lb pumpkin that took second place at the 2010 Circleville Pumpkin Show weigh off. Several people I work with have shown interest in growing a Giant Pumpkin, so I created this document for beginners that want to grow a huge pumpkin, competitively or not.
Welcome! I hope you find the information helpful to grow your own Atlantic Giant Pumpkin.
