Careful, US giant pumpkins have a history of violence. You might want
to stick to UK-centric garden groups.

Only one tip I remember is to grow a bunch of vines and when they
flower, snip all except the largest flower on each vine. So it's 1
pumpkin per vine.

There are no coons in the UK. Unless you are a KKK member and are
referring to other coons. We have plenty of them.

I have downloaded some stuff off the net.
