Can anyone recommend a big, giant, pumpkin seed that's not an Atlantic Giant? Maybe a producer of 100 lb ish size? Thanks!

Big Max, Big Moon,and First Prize all produce 100 plus pound pumpkins, with First Prize being the largest and possibly the most orange.
Wyatt's Wonder produces 100 pound pumpkins with a wheel shape, and Johnny's Seeds sells Big Moose, which is uniformly round and weighs 50-125 pounds.

Any giant hard stemmed field pumpkin from our modern gene pool will get you to 100 lbs without too much effort.

Just a note on Prizewinner pumpkins: Monsanto has copyrighted that name, so no one can put "Prizewinner" on a package of seeds. First Prize is the same variety, just a different name.

Duff, I have been working on miniaturizing Atlantic Giants for years. Send me a bubble or come by the house. We can have a few beers and you can pick up some mini AG seeds.
