I'm growing 3 Atlantic Giant. One's plants nearly a foot long, and I'll be planting it out next weekend. I'm gonna dig a huge hole, empty my compost bin into it, shake out half a box of fish, blood and bone and then plant the blighter on top of it all. Then I'm gonna let one or two pumpkins grow and see how big I can get them!
