Newbie needs help.


Hi everyone.  This is my first year to grow a giant.  Heck it's my first 
year to grow anything ever.  I am so addicted.  I spend hours reading what 
anyone has to say.  I bought my seeds at the Circleville, Ohio Pumpkin show, 
out of 4 seeds I have one plant.  It's huge already and I have 3 fruits on 
the main vine.  Ok. now my question.  Which fruit do I keep and when do I 
"thin" out the rest to get a giant?  Another question, how do I know if they 
self pollinated?  Do I really need to do it by hand?  I'm so new at this, 
but so thrilled to go and see how much it's grown.  My vine grew over 17 
inches in 3 days!!!  I don't want to have just a big vine, I want a really 
BIG PUMPKIN!!!!  I will take any and all advise.
I am so interested in this and am having so much fun!!
