Growing Info

Harvesting: Harvest pumpkins before the first fall frost, and when foliage has begun to dry out. Cut stem with a knife, leaving 3"–4" of stem on the pumpkin. Do not hold the pumpkin by the stem; if stem attachment gets broken, or any part of the pumpkin bruises, the pumpkin may rot. Brush off any dirt or leaves. Ideally, cure at 80°-85°F and 80–85% humidity or a warm, sunny spot with good air circulation for 1 to 2 weeks before eating or storage. Do not allow harvested fruit to get wet.

    Order arrived quickly and everything was neat and in good condition. 100% germination. We are very excited to grow giant pumpkins and appreciate the added information on the inside of the packets.

    We haven't reached the end of the growing season in August in zone 7, but we've got a volleyball sized pumpkin on one vine and baseball sized pumpkin on the other. Big, healthy, vines have been disease and mildew resistant and have stood up to a hot, dry Spring and a hot, damp, summer. Can't wait to see how big we can grow a pumpkin!

    Zero germination. No issues with other brands I have tried, but zero germination from the BI Giant Atlantics. Would not recommend.
