Trying to grow a 2000lb Giant Pumpkin - week-by-week series

EPISODE 12 - October 22nd - October 24th

What do you do with a giant pumpkin? Some people drop them onto cars, feed them to elephants, or make them into boats. I just make jack-o'-lanterns.

I like to stand them up to make a nice big carving face. It takes a long time but it looks cool. Then I harvest all the seeds by cutting a hole in the back. Then I carve them.

I hope you found this season's videos satisfying to watch the plants and pumpkins grow.

Turn on captions in the 2022 YouTube videos for more behind-the-scenes explanation of what I'm doing.

Want to grow a giant pumpkin yourself this year? Look for some good Atlantic Giant seeds. You can get regular ones at any place that sells regular vegetable seeds, or I have special ones available for sale on Etsy if you want to go up a level. Thanks for watching!
