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.

I’ve always had excellent experiences, four seeds look great and I am excited to see germinate. Unfortunately one seed will not be able to use.

Thank you so much for this 4-star review and for sharing your experience with the Atlantic Giant Pumpkin Seeds! You're enthusiasm for growing giant pumpkins is exactly what we love to see!
We're sorry to hear that one seed wasn't usable. Even with our best quality control efforts, occasionally a seed doesn't make it through the process in perfect condition. The good news is that four healthy Atlantic Giant seeds should give you some amazing pumpkin growing potential this season!
Your excitement about germination tells us you're probably already planning for what could be some seriously impressive pumpkins. These Atlantic Giants have such incredible growing potential when they get off to a good start with quality seeds.
We hope those four seeds give you an absolutely fantastic growing season and maybe even a record-breaking pumpkin or two!
Keep on growing 🌻️

I originally ordered a pack that arrived empty. I reached out to BI and they had a new pack in my hands less than a week later. The new pack had 100% germination. I know that pumpkins like to be direct sown but these babies need a long time and I’m in the PNW where it was still chilly. Originally soil blocked, then bumped up to solo cups before transplanting and they’re all doing fantastic after 2 weeks!

What an amazing start to your Atlantic Giant pumpkin growing adventure! We're so glad we could get that replacement pack to you quickly and that you achieved 100% germination - that's fantastic! Your soil blocking and transplanting strategy sounds perfect for getting those pumpkins a head start in the PNW climate. It's exciting to hear they're all thriving after transplanting! We can't wait to see how massive these giants get for you this season. Thanks for sharing your Atlantic Giant pumpkin success with us! Keep on growing 🌻️
