It outlines spring planting, daily watering and feeding throughout summer, and intense care such as shading from hot sun, covering with blankets on cold nights, and gently turning pumpkins to prevent cracking.

Some pumpkins grow so huge that they weigh more than a small car. These are not the little pumpkins you carve on Halloween. They are orange giants, round and lumpy, with skin as thick as your fist.  \nTo grow one of these orange giants, you need a very special seed. Growers plant a kind of pumpkin called the Atlantic Giant, because its seeds can make the biggest pumpkins of all. First, they plant the seed in spring, then they water it, feed it, and watch it closely all summer long. At its fastest, a giant pumpkin can gain dozens of pounds in a single day, so it grows almost too fast to believe!  \nGrowing that fast takes lots of care from the people who love these plants. Growers shade their pumpkins from the hot sun and even tuck blankets around them on cold nights. Because a heavy pumpkin can crack if it grows too quickly, growers turn it gently so it keeps its round shape. Some growers talk to their pumpkins and give them names, just like pets!  \nWhen autumn comes, the biggest pumpkins are trucked to a contest called a weigh-off. At a weigh-off, growers lift their giants onto a huge scale to see whose pumpkin is the heaviest. The world record pumpkin weighed more than 2,700 pounds, which is heavier than a small car. Can you picture that? One single pumpkin, grown from one tiny seed, ended up heavier thana small car!  \nGiant Pumpkins  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) How big can the biggest giant pumpkins get?\u003Cbr>A.
