I may grow one, but I'm still learning with all of it. We've always grown them to eat, but never tried for a giant; same with tomatoes. We've always bought our tomato plants, but that's obviously changing this year. I'm definitely going to plant more than I should of just about everything. I plan to focus on pumpkins and tomatoes but who knows...

Funny that the last time I was at McD's a week ago, I found a white #2 pencil that was lost and used, with 'Niagara Falls' and 'Canada' printed on it. I think, up there, it is a #2.72 or something at the moment.
As they say 'No. 2 are alike!' Baaaaaaahhhhhhhhhaaaaaa...

Sounds good Adam. When growing for size, the work is quadruple so have fun with the pumpkins. Giant sunflowers are fun to grow too on the side. I grew well over 18 feet tall last year with minimal work. Hardest thing was building the support to keep the plant from collapsing. It was a complete redneck rig with bamboo and duct tape.

Good luck with whatever you choose this year
