BTW what is the way of dealing with the pumpkin in a container when it starts getting big? Keep in mind this is atlantic giant ;) Although this will probably be a short test cycle that might limit it to 50-100lbs. Last year (and this year) I grew an Atlantic Giant in a Gardener Supply self watering container. The plant gets massive. I cut off the growing end of the vine at 20' and allowed one pumpkin to develop. I couldn't tell you how large it would have gotten as a freak, early frost killed the vine a month sooner than a typical year. Even with a shortened season it was approximately 2' in diameter at it's widest point and made the jack o lantern types look puny. Hopefully things go better this year. The way I deal with the size is I set the container on the lawn and let the vine go. Makes it impossible to mow the lawn in that area, but the leaves shaded the lawn enough it didn't get too out of control and the lawn wasn't killed either.

You get a mutt. You won't know what it's going to look like or how big it's going to get. Rodney

Looking for 20 -30 small gourds to make Christmas ornaments. Gladly do postage or check my have list to see if I have something you want.

Can you send me your address? I would like some of the spinning gourd seeds and can send you a SASE and maybe some crown of thorn seeds? I could not find your email address. thank you.
