Who's ever grown GIANT pumpkins?

Good luck Griff

If anyone's looking for a cheap and cheerful selection of seeds to have a go at giant or competition growing, have a look here. There's a mixed pack including Dill's Atlantic Giant pumpkin.

The pumpkins in the wheelbarrow look great,it's good to hear you've got some seeds good luck with them! If you crop the photos resize to 800 x 600 on Microsoft picture manager it uploads at that size,or if you take the photo from far away,then cut bits off it uploads. A lot of people have problems putting photos on here,takes me ages if I use my camera so I mainly use the ipad & cut bits off.
Ive only grown pumpkins once they spread about ten foot across the bed & lawn,normal sized though not giants,is it good to do what you do for beans- burying kitchen waste in a trench then planting,it can't be bad?

I have resized it to 600x800, thanks looks a bit better, still a bit blurry though but probably because I have more than likely sized one that has already been altered. I am doing it from my iPhone so can't really tell if it will look better on a big screen. Thanks anyway.

This is my progress so far 4'x5'x 2'deep hole filled with manure and then a bag of John Ines number 2 mixed in the top.










Going to let it settle and rake level to boards at the side with leaf mould compost.
