               Trying to figure how much space is needed for the lttle giants.  So, if you have actually grown  a field pumkin, please offer some helpful advice.

               Anywhere from 100sq. ft. to 400sq. ft. will do nicely.

               I grow phat jack variety, which can grow >100bs. If you are growing for garden stand sales, I plant them in 10 ft wide rows, spaced 5ft apart between seedlings.  This will produce ~3 fruit/plant, some of which have reached >70lbs, unmanaged. 
  If growing for competition, I agree with the suggestion above.  100-400sq ft is adequate.
