RE: small backyard patches
Well, last year I just grew regular pumpkins and they were fun. I had 5
plants and got 4 above average sized fruit and a couple nice baby ones. 100
pounds would be a big difference from that, and I also don't want to set my
sights too high on my first attempt. Didn't someone here say that the goal
each year is to beat your personal best each year? I'm only 23, so I'll have
plenty of time(knock on wood) to try for the REAL McCoy after successfully
growing a AG pumpkin this year.

Marc,
One plant can take up an entire small back yard. I have four little plants
in
the ground now. Two to a hill. I will take one out of each hill based on a
combination of factors in about two weeks. Then I will give one of the
plants
most of the love and care and use the other for a backup and pollinator.
You should look at getting three or four hundred pound fruit. A hundred
pounds is not a whole lot bigger than a beachball.
Think big and ORANGE!
John
