I’ve been growing giant pumpkins since 2021 and have produced four pumpkins over 1,800 pounds (1814 lbs, 1931 lbs, 1970.5 lbs and my personal best of 1986 lbs grown in 2025).

At The Turner Ranch, I document and teach the exact methods I use, from seed starting and soil preparation to genetics, vine management, and weigh-off day.
