How do people grow giant (>2000lbs) pumpkins?
In: 115
The seeds of the champion pumpkins are harvested and sold to be grown for next year’s competition. Real champions are not made from the packaged Burpee’s seeds AFAIK. At least this was the practice at the Circleville Pumpkin Festival which has had record setting pumpkins for many years. Also, there’s nothing else in the garden but the pumpkin, and it’s the only pumpkin on the entire vine. I did a community garden for a few years and one guy only grew his 1 giant pumpkin in his whole plot, and the plant completely covered the 10X40ft plot.
