Ok I was wondering what was the biggest pumpkin grown in the smallest area?

Longmont pete had a 980 and a 1166 pounder in 585 sq ft Yep over a ton.

But any other statics available?

I grew a 664.5 Liggett seed this year, just under 300 square feet to 1016.

Alex has a 700 from about 100 sq ft this year, on a 904 Stelts.

Impressed the heck out of me, that's for sure.

I am glad someone asked this question. Now the next question is, why do you think you got such a large pumpkin in such a small space? I'd love to know because I grew a 200 pounder and a 300 pounder in 350 sqft on the same plant. I pretty much made every mistake a rookie could make but I think I still did alright because of the seed I started with.

Petes, pumpkin patch was an incredilbel eye opener for me. It really shows what can be done with a much smaller plant.

However, I dont think anyone can beat Bob Ligget.

Bob Ligget's 1353.5 pumpkin, grown in 2004 had a stunning yield of 4.51 pounds per square foot of plant. He grew it in just 300 sq/ft of space. This might be the most incredible growing feat ever accomplished.

To put that into prespective Capt'n, Petes pumpkin had yield of 1.9 lbs per sq/ft of space. Bob Ligget's pumpkin was in an area almost half the size of Petes.

Doc Ligget is the King of small patch and big pumpkins.

Pete Question for u how much sq ft did your 1166 Mohr 09 grow in?

10/29/2009 7:10:41 PM

Colorado

1166 was grown in about 300 sq. feet. That's 3.88 pounds per square foot.

Fact of the matter is that the average sq. footage for all pumpkins ever grown over 1600 pounds is about 800 sq feet.

I need a bigger patch. end of discussion, LOL.
