How do people grow giant (>2000lbs) pumpkins?
In: 115
My son actually wanted to do this in elementary school and we tried it! He bought a book about it but basically it came down to: 1. Buy seeds specifically to grow huge pumpkins and 2. Bury every blossom but one so that all of the plant’s energy goes into that one pumpkin. We did grow pumpkins that were unusually large but nothing close to 1000lbs.
Fun fact for old people: Jim Martin of Faith No More went on to be a champion pumpkin grower after he stopped being a rock star.
