OCR: Pumpkin Variety: Big Max Planting: Plant one hill and leave space 12 feet in diameter. Needs sunlight, well-drained soil, and plenty of room. Pumpkins can be inter-planted with corn to maximize productive space in the garden. Growing Giant Pumpkins: Pumpkins can grow 15 pounds a day, so if you're going for a prize-winning giant pumpkin, try these techniques: 1. In Spring the growing season starts. Plant several seeds. 2. When garden soil has warmed, place in deep, well-composted manure covered with your best top-soil. 3. Mulch plants and water thoroughly every day. 4. As the pumpkins grow, let one pumpkin per plant mature. Choose one 15 feet from the crown of the plant and continue to water thoroughly every day. These techniques may lead to pumpkins that will weigh 100 to 200 pounds. BEEK The Catalog 13
