It depends on the cultivar jon. A little pie pumpkin will max out at a couple pounds no matter what you do to it.

An Atlantic Giant on the other hand will only get to its biggest size if you pick off all the subsequent fruit. You've seen these fork-lift punkin's at the fair.

Those must be some little pie pumpkins.
I grow Sugar Pies at 4 to 8 pounds.

That's a lot of good pumpkin growing info. I'm going to have to go back and write it all down. Thanks.

I started my pumpkins inside about two weeks ago and I just discovered my first sprout this morning! I am SO EXCITED. Not only is this my first pumpkin sprout but my first sprout EVER! (this is my first year gardening) :shock: :D
