I need some help here. I have a 50'x50' area, I can make it bigger if I have to, but would like to leave it. How should I arrange 4 plants in the area, and I am going to cultivate 2 out and just have 2 go the whole year.

There are two choices, that I see.

One, plant in middle and let em grow out and over.

Two, Let them be planted at the end and let them grow towards the middle. The weaker of the four plants cull. But the great thing is that you can plant two on each side. And let them grow towards the center.

But I am not a pro at growing AG's so don't rely on my intel, I am just a srg when it comes to growing pumpkins.

OK from the far right outside center go in 12 feet. Mark that spot. Now go 24 feet in the same direction mark that spot. Now from these positions go 6 feet to the left and 6 feet to the right. This is where you will plants will go. If this doesn't make any sense I will try to explain it better. Your Patch will look like a 4 on a dice. With the dots closer to the center.

Cool, that is what I was thinking, I just wasn't sure how far to come in and keep them apart. Thanks

I don't know yet, Probably at least one that you sent me Wiz, plus I got a few of Holland's so I may try a couple of those. I think I am going to start 6 six seeds and then just trim down. I will probably pick 2 and let me 4 year old daughter pick the other 4. Kids are good at thinkgs like that.
