The seed came from one of the largest gourds in the world: a 2,323-pound monster grown by Swedish gardener Beni Meier in 2014, current holder of the record for heaviest pumpkin. But T&M arenât leaving their chances at producing a record-breaking pumpkin to, well, chance.
The trickiest part is knowing when to plant pumpkin seeds. If youâre growing a giant that needs 140-plus days to reach its mammoth size, sow seeds from April 25 to May 15. If you garden where those dates still have a frosty feel, start seeds indoors. Most giant pumpkin seeds have a very thick seed coat. Youâll get better germination if you file the edges of the seed.
