Thanks everyone for your comments!
momtomany, I did plant a garden at my old house but not the giant pumpkins. I planted some regular sized ones and grabbed a few before the closing date to bring over here. You really need a lot of room to plant the giant pumpkins and after a couple seasons of trying it I realized that maybe my garden was a little too small. The pumpkins I grew actually pale in comparison to the size of pumpkins the seeds came from (1000# plus). My garden at the old house was about 40-50- feet long by about 25 feet wide. I was using about half that for the giant pumpkins which was not enough really. Using the whole garden would have been better but that would mean not planting anything else. I don't think i am going to do a garden here, we are almost all shade and my parents live 5 minutes away and have a huge garden themselves so I think I will just get stuff from them in the future. Less work for me :wink:
