Likely your best bet is to google for a club in your area/state. Not only are most giant pumpkin growers friendly and willing to share information, many of them will also provide seeds for free to 'noobs'.

If you want a large pumpkin it all begins with the genetics. If you just buy seeds from a seed vendor, you are not likely getting seeds from prize winners. Club members will hook you up with quality seed.

The Komohana ag extension is currently having a pumpkin growing contest. A few weeks ago at the annual plant sale they were giving away giant pumpkin starts to any one who wanted to participate in the contest. Their edible pumpkin variety can get to be 400 + lbs. My wife and I have one and are hoping for the best they also have giant watermelons that can get as large as 120 lbs. Personally I think the watermelon would be a more interesting adventure, as it could be consumed by the class. If you don't have any luck let me know and I will forward the e-mail of the lady that is running the contest. I'm confident she will be able to help you get going. Aloha David
