After seedlings grow 2 inches tall, thin to 2 plants per hill. For maximum size, remove all but 1 or 2 fruits from each vine and fertilize regularly. : Harvest fruits when the skin has turned completely orange. Cut from the vine, leaving a 2-inch stem attached to the fruit. Store in a warm, dry spot.

Reviewed By: Dj (Sunnyside, WA)
I grew the biggest punkin ever, and I didn't even fertilize it, just water. It was a fun family project. I would recomend this to anyone looking to grow something fun for the family. Dj

Atlantic
Reviewed By: Philip Wellington (Cole Camp, Missouri)
The Atlantic "Dill" Giant is an outstanding performer! To grow a record pumpkin, one should look to others for information such as those at bigpumpkins.com! There is lots of good advice and the opportunity to grow a 500 to 1600 pound pumpkin! The seed is very important and Atlantic dill giant pumpkin is the best but the soil and the growing procedures are very important as well! Not eager for competition but if your going for it then GO FOR IT!
