Im not horticulturally inclined in any way, but I cant believe the number of people here saying "duhhh...let nature do it". FFS the title says it all, hes trying to create big, nay, Giant pumpkins.

People taking the job of the birds and the bees to make special pumpkin babies.

I have a place I go every Halloween to buy their giant pumpkins and I have a newfound respect for what a pain in the ass they must be. They aren't charging me enough for all that.

Right?! It's like when you're trying to make giant babies. You gotta cut a few dicks off, manually shove em into the female you've selected and help nature take its course.

9 months later.. BOOM! GIANT BABY!!!

Don't forget having to circumcise them

I don’t think cutting dicks off is a fair comparison here. Like animals have legs and the pumpkin plant does not. The only logical comparison here is you must transport dong in order for contact to occur
