Pumpkin 'Dill's atlantic giant' - 15 seeds (Cucurbita maxima)
This is the really big one, regularly producing monsters up to and over 500kg (1100 lb)
Apply a weekly nitrogen-heavy fertilizer early in the growing season to produce a healthy plant. Once the flowers start to form, switch to a phosphorus-heavy fertilizer for plentiful blossoms. When the actual pumpkins appear, use a potassium-rich fertilizer for healthy fruit. Great fun to grow especially for children, as even without any special care or treatment they can still produce enormous pumpkins.
