newbie questions


I live in Central Ontario (Millbrook) and I am growing three AG plants
from packaged seeds.  This is my first attempt and I have a few
questions.

1.  The package just says: Atlantic Giants from Howard Dill; I bought
them from the local hardware store.  Are all the seeds being discussed
here from this same group?  Next year, should I get seeds from a
different source?

2.  The vines are all 3' - 4' in length and some leaves are about 16"
across.  I have buried the first foot and a half.  I have had a number
of male flowers but not male ones yet.  What type of fertilizer should I
be using now?  Which of the three numbers (I always forget what they
represent) should be the highest?  At any point should I switch
fertilizers?

3.  How often and how much should I water?

4.  Could you describe some of the insects I should be looking out for?

Thank you for your patience.
