The Giant Awakes...
Finally I have germination of my Paton Twins giant pumpkin! I planted the first of two very expensive seeds on 30th April and nothing at all has happened, it failed to germinate. Just a few days ago I planted the second seed and just one day after germinating the seed leaves are about 3 inches across!
I have been preparing a mound on which to plant it. The contents of a compost bin, chicken manure, composted grass clippings and well rotted horse manure. This lovely pile has been sitting for weeks waiting for lift off. Stand by!

That thing germinated in just one day?? Are you sure it isn't the first one coming up belatedly? (No, I'm sure you would have sown the seed in a separate pot...)
I have gone for the opposite approach - I have "Butterbush" a squash that is bred for compactness.
Very impressive growth.
hurrah! best wishes little Giant x
I had a similar experience sowing courgette seed this year, with the second sowing germinating in only a few days. Funny that. Hope you have great success with your pumpkin. I'm growing Jack O Latern and Mammath this year.
Good luck! Hope you get your giant pumpkin!
wow... looks like this could be huge,
good luck! and progress reports please...
Look forward to seeing the pics. I'm growing Atlantic giant pumpkin this year!
