Yes, how true. I have tried to grow regular pumpkins and can't!

I also heard its because of the nematodes (sp) in our soil?

If you find out, I need to know, I would just love to grow some pumpkins!!

Believe me it's a LOT of work, when growing for size the rules are different.

Yes it is. I have 4 more seeds ready for this year, my goal this year is 1000 lbs.

What a beauty Amigatek, I never got any that big.

I'm going to try again this year, I've grown some big ones before but the old place got hit with mosaic virus towards mid season last time, the giant plants aborted and died first (but I got a ton of sugar pies and jackolantern pumpkins before it hit them completely) 70% of the plants I was growing was cucurbits

No not pumpkin. I am shooting for a 15ft+ sunflower. I got some mongolian giant sunflowers seeds.
