niggles Posted March 1, 2012 its prolly hard to grow anything that looks like food when people around you are starving. I imagine anything that looks edible would disappear very quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Distracted Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) This post is based off memory and may be wrong, feel free to correct me. I think it's much better to grow a bunch of smaller pumpkins than a big large one, more nutrients and such. Massive pumpkins like that would require quite a lot of water too... Also I think I remember reading the green leaves and shoots contain more nutrients than pumpkins do anyway edit: that's for solving hunger problems though.. I think the main use for a massive pumpkin is that it's a neat extension of your genitalia. Edited March 2, 2012 by Distracted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
