RE: best looking and heat tolerant

---

I used mostly overhead water with misters and low volume sprinklers with no shade what so ever the plant in the very beginning got very bad wind damage. It only had 4 leafs and the main vine left and then it took off and covered over 1000 sq.ft. and as my healthiest plant hands down!

Dennis,  what kind of watering system do you use?  Mist, drip, overhead and did you use warm or tap water?  What are the genetics in Hunt seed line?  Thanks Mc!

Regarding "Atlantic Giant" varieties:
Who has grown the "best looking" giant Pumpkin?
Pictures anywhere?
What seeds do well in the hot Southern Climates?

Peace,
Glen
