I'm in the foot hills of NC and would like to try my luck at growing some giant pumpkins is it to late for me to start preparing? I plan to send my soil sample off next week. What is a good book for me to start with? Any and all tips will be appreciated I'd also like to find some seeds

Welcome Kenneth. You are in the right place. So many good people willing to share info and help new growers get started. You have plenty of time to get started before spring. But go to the seed exchange thread and ask around for some good seeds. Good luck. Mike

My advice would be to go to the seed exchange and look for the offer by 1320 for some 220 Debacco X Self seeds. Do it before they are all gone.
