Howard Dill set a gardening record that hasn’t been beat to this day. Back in the 80’s he won the world champion pumpkin growing contest 4 times in a row. And he bred ‘Atlantic Giant’ the first of the really big pumpkins and one that is still commercially available today. Some would say that he created the entire large pumpkin growing craze. . . .
