Atlantic Giant pumpkins are renowned for their impressive size and are considered one of the largest pumpkin varieties in the world. Developed specifically for growing colossal pumpkins, they can reach weights of over 1,000 pounds, with some exceptional specimens exceeding 2,000 pounds! Characterized by their thick, ribbed, orange skin, Atlantic Giants are not just visually striking but also have a relatively mild flavor, making them less ideal for cooking compared to smaller varieties. Originating from a selective breeding program in the 1970s, Atlantic Giant pumpkins have gained popularity in pumpkin-growing competitions and festivals. The plants require ample space and nutrient-rich soil, thriving in warm climates with plenty of sunlight and consistent watering. Harvesting typically occurs in late summer to early fall when the pumpkins have reached their desired size and the skin has hardened. Despite their massive size, they can be surprisingly delicate; care must be taken during handling to avoid bruising. Atlantic Giant pumpkins are not only a favorite for competitive growers but also serve as a fun and impressive display during autumn festivals, making them a staple of Halloween decor and seasonal celebrations.
