Jim from Calgary here.  This was my first year to try and grow an
Atlantic Giant pumpkin and I failed.  I've learned a lot reading the
mail here and will definitely do better next year
My problem was that the pumpkin did not get pollinated.  Must be a
shortage of bees this year.  The plant was beautiful.  One seed planted
directly into the ground on April 30 yielded a 35' X 35' plant.  Is that
a large enough plant to grow a 500lb pumpkin?
Anyway, next year I will be doing a lot more things right than I did
this year.
Good luck to all of you at the weigh offs.
