According to the National Gardening Association, the current world record for giant pumpkins is 1689 pounds – amazing! If you’d like to get a glimpse into how people are trying to meet or beat that record, you should check out Don Langevin’s new book, How-to Grow World Class Giant Pumpkins the All-Organic Way.

For a serious grower, Langevin’s new book walks you through all the steps of growing your own giant pumpkin the organic way. Seed varieties, soil matters, growing, care, and harvesting of giant pumpkins are all covered. There’s also some cultural information in the book, although you can get that info elsewhere; the big perk of this book is the organic slant.
Additionally the book offers fourteen profiles of expert giant pumpkin growers so you get a cool view into their world plus get to gather personal tips from all the experts. This book is just in time for pumpkin season and kids will especially love to hear about such mammoths – especially since Halloween is upon us.
