RE: New at this

I tried NC Weeks the last two years and my best effort was about 40 pounds. Watered the plants every single day by hand, fertilized, weeded, hand pollinated, shaded; the works. Put down 16 plants last year, turned about 6 pumpkins. Just an FYI.

Hello
I'm new here and love all the info you guys give each other. I have not grown
Giant pumpkins before but this year I had some send me seed in a trade I did
on the garden web and I thought I would give it a try. The seeds are Atlantic
Giants, Titan and NC weeks I planted them all to see if I could get any to
sprout I went out this morning and It looks like there all sprouted. The A.
G.  seedlings are big I did not think they would be that much bigger than a
jack o lantern I have grown in the past but I was wrong. I have a nice big
area in the garden for them to grow I started them in the garden so I don't
have to transplant them. I live in southern California. Know for the
question's How many seedling should I let grow and how do I pick out which
plant to keep and what is the best out of the three kinds I started to grow
here in California and any other info go can give me would be great. Thanks
Animal
