I've been into the giants for about two years. my best is a 568# from a foss seed. Due to health issues my unofficial mentor is getting out of growing. he however gave me the most amazing seed collection i've ever seen. There are seeds from just about every grower I've ever heard of. Can you guys, that have been in this a while, give me your opinions for the top 5 pumpkins or growers that will give me the best chance to set a new personal best
