Mine weren't giant by Ms. Boots (San Diego, CA)  4 Stars
November 01, 2008
I don't think our pumpkins turned out according to the claim of a Giant Pumpkin, but it may not have been the fault of seeds, I think we didn't provide them enough soil. Very quick delivery and worth a try!

Pumpkins Seeds Purchased and Planted - we'll see in 2008 by R. Graham (Dewey, Oklahoma USA) 4 Stars
June 06, 2008
I purchased these 15 Dills Atlantic Giant Seeds for my 3 yr. old nephew to plant along with his giant sunflowers. We live in OK - growing region 6. 15 seeds arrived promptly and were planted in the correct sign or phase of the moon according to The Farmers Almanac. I'm expecting 15 pumpkin vines to produce at least 15 pumpkins. Hirt's will hear from me if I'm not satisfied.
I gave them 4 stars for prompt delivery and careful packaging. Hirt's has a fairly negative customer review at one particular garden website - http://davesgarden.com/products/gwd/c/554/ but those comments tend to be ebay purchases.
I'll reserve my opinion for "proof is in the pumpkin" till this fall. Hopefully I can report about large orange pumpkins with a 3 year old atop one.

Giant Pumpkin Self-Contest by Artist DuJour (Los Angeles, Calif) 4 Stars
April 25, 2008
The Hirt's seeds came really fast - in 4 days - and they were in a bubble-wrap envelope so no broken seeds. This matters since it's a small quantity. Germination rate is unknown. Another star if it's high. We are hoping only for a big pumpkins, so we're not going to great lengths to get a prize-winner. Who counts out 15 seeds, I wonder? One guy we talked to said the Atlantic Giant pumpkin can grow 25 lbs per day! OMG!
