There is no better show of antisipation than a man sowing seeds in a field.

surely its too early to tell? i grew atlantic giant last year and they didn't get any bigger than a football

so i thought i was growing big pumpkins but they didn't get so big, hoping for better results this year

I started my seeds off in the greenhouse 5 weeks ago. One Atlantic giant and one called Lombard. They are both planted out in their final position now.  The Atlantic giant is about 4" long and the Lombard a little behind at 3".  I am hoping the weather will settle soon as both plants are now ready to take off. I have a feeding plan and hope to get a realy big one this year.
