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.

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

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 :))
