Great stuff, lots of interest again :D I'm happy to organise it, prize will be for the biggest pumpkin so photos at the end with tape measure around the biggest part of the pumpkin as proof. I won't be organising a prize etc for quantity but I see no reason not to post photos etc if you grow for quantity. I'll ask Dan to make this thread a sticky so we can chat about our progress through the season.

Thanks Leonnie from me too. Looking forward to beating my own personal best though not aiming for any real whoppas - can't lift or cut them!.

Leonnie · « **Reply #16 on:** February 14, 2007, 16:54:48 »

It's great to see there's lots of interest again this year :D

Have you all decided what varieties you'll be growing? Last year I grew hundredweight but this year I'm hoping to get some atlantic giant seeds because I think they grow bigger...not that I stand a chance against you lot ;) ;D

cambourne7 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 14, 2007, 17:09:47 »

yes i have atlantic giant seeds to try this year and i have a plan ;)

carolinej · « **Reply #18 on:** February 14, 2007, 17:20:41 »

So are Atlantic Giant the tallest variety there is?

cj :)

Travman · « **Reply #19 on:** February 14, 2007, 18:39:20 »

Not the tallest as it is a ground hugging and covering plant.

Its the largest spreading with the largest and the heaviest form of pumpkin.(usually :))
