Ok you folks win. I have been lurking here in the shadows watching and reading last year and this. I can't take it anymore I just have to join in next year and go for a monster.

I guess the first thing I need is to get some seed with a good genetic background. I think I will go for Atlantic giants. I know harvest season is coming quick and seeds should soon be available. I will gladly send a SASE to anyone who could possibly send seeds my way. If needed I will purchase seed but am hoping fellow garden webbers will be able to send me a start.

I am not even sure how well giants will grow in this area but most everything else seems to do well on local farms and in gardens so i'm hopingfor the best. If I do well with the pumpkins I will add other giant veggies the next year
