I tried and had bad luck...never got a monster but I have gotten a few decent ones...yeehaw...and yes I made one per vine and followed all directions...

Did you buy known Dill genetics or pumpkin seed sold as Dills?
Pumpkins cross breed with squash and other gourds, and makes bad fruits and messed up seeds with bad genetics.

The messed up Dill seeds will grow large and deformed pumpkins but not that Great Pumpkin we see in those contests each year.
If your neighbours had squash or some other pumpkin nearby it could screw up your possible Giant Dill.

Real Dill Pumpkin seeds from known Dill growers/breeders that produce monster pumpkins cost $20 - $25 each.
Only a few seeds are released from each breeder every year, and those sell fast.

Beyond that, any pumpkin growers reading, feel free to show off your work this year here if you want...

Hey I tried growing some this year and I got a nice sized not great but a Lil bigger than what you find in the store. Not bad for planting in desert sand most has died off only a quarter or less of the plant is alive. It was more an experiment than anything I got mine at Lowe's for cheap.I plan on growing some better ones next year. You have to look for the most vigorous seedlings they grow a lot faster than the others. Those will give the big pumpkins even In crappy conditions. I can only feed at the main root I can't make the whole vine to root it's too hard for me I use a wheelchair to get around. Next year they will be huge I'm using the seeds I'm getting this year. They should be the same genetics I don't think anyone grows anything around here I also like to plant colorful or yellow sunflowers. I
I will put a pic up latter it's 5 :30 am right now. I just got a half p of brick too for 150

and they got eaten by deer.

Got a few left but at best, they will yield Bonsai Pumpkins.

Hi. Have you got some big pumpkins last season?

Is it true that you can find giant pumpkins thrown into the trash?

If this is true, they must be the losers or the ones that didn't get the expected size.

Greetings.
