Giant Pumpkins and profit?

Every year we try our hand at Giant pumpkins, and last year we failed miserably. 2 inches of rain from May till November, does not make for a good garden much less a couple of orange fruit whose DNA is trying to force them to grow as much as 30 pounds a day. When I say Giant I mean a pumpkin that weighs 1,682 pounds! http://bigpumpkins.com/.


It takes a lot of water and fertilizer to keep one of these things healthy and you can easily invest over 100.00 dollars a year on them. Why are they on a site about cheapness? Because if you grow a big one 500 to 2,000 lbs. You can win a lot of money at fairs with it, and the seeds can be sold for as much as 30.00 dollars each and there is a waiting line to buy them!


The info needed to grow them is much to voluminous to enter into here but there are a lot of resources on line.

This is a one hundred and fourteen pounder I grew and carved into a grumpkin.
