Got to have your soil just right first. Get ahold of your giant pumpkin weigh off or club for good seeds. There are some very good growers in NZ that can give you tips on how to grow . I think it is very hard to get them thru customs now.

I may still look into it but you'll want any other than my superbly-crossed, yet unproven seeds;

my first initiative was to go here:

WHATever you do, please be sure to bury your vines and amend and WATER! to the fullest you can - any of the plants i saw did not have their vines buried and were simply growing across grass, like, forget taking pictures and shovel it on there, lol!
OOoops, like I don't do, lol---eric g

Fair point pumpkinpal2 re burying vines.

As for seeds, still working on the process for later in the year. Lots of keen people wanting to grow good seed.
