Thanks JOE!! A good Giant Pumpkin plant is a lot like a bad drunk 3-4 weeks in the bag & its ready to go to the BIG House(kincave) LOL   Monday, April 16 View Page Starting plants early debate? The young seedling placed in the soil will grow 50% of its RUUTTTs across the surface of the soil aprox 2-3 inches below the surface.Thats ok till summer comes & its 90 degrees out. Then you will get scorched leafs due to shallow root system getting hot.So starting the plant early will give you a deeper root system when placing plant in ground.Northern growers may not be concerned with this but I get pretty hot days here in Muddy waters.Im no soil scientist butt I did start the elevated walk plank in 2011 when I grew my 260 Giant watermelon.I think common sense ideas will grow Big Fruits combined with basic science knowledge.No need to split the Pumpkin atom folks.KISS   Monday, April 16 View Page So 2-3 weeks in the bag is a good thing.
