atlantic giant pumpkin

[terrier]

Why not just put the bathroom scales underneath the pumpkin and weigh it?

i have'nt got any scales! and i think the measurements will be in inches and the weight will be in pounds as i got the info from a yankee website, here's the link....http://www.backyardgardener.com/wcgp...s/10steps.html

Time to resurect this thread. How did growing these giants go for everyone this year? Is anyone still going strong? Have you any extra tips you want to share?

I saw the world record was broken a couple of weeks ago with a 1689 pound whopper!

My prize pumpkin at the Hill came in at 19lb, so came 5th in our allotment competition. The winner was 68lb! As a bonus, though, about a couple of weeks ago I found another lurkinging under the foliage, and that weighed in at 13lb, and tastes yummy!

I put it on a different thread, but my atlantic giant was 4st 3lb (59lb). It enjoyed a regular drop of lager. Must have reached the parts other feeds cant!
