The most important lesson I've learned in growing giants is that its the time you put into your garden that is one of the biggest factors determining end weight of your fruit. If you garden is weedy, your vines unpruned and unburied, your fertilizer program spur of the moment, then dont expect 1000lbs.

As with everything, the more you put into it the more you get out of it, and in our case we measure that in pounds. lots of em.

There's no secret to growing a giant pumpkin. Just a lot of hard work and dedication.

START OUT BY CALLING YOURSELF GIANT PUMPKIN "LEARNER"

THE TERM "KING "SHOULD BE RESERVED FOR A TIME WHEN YOU HAVE PROVEN YOURSELF
