Giant pumpkins and mini watermelons

I bought these seeds on amazon also. There are Dill's Atlantic Giant Pumpkin seeds and Mexican Miniature watermelon seeds. They are sold by Hirt's Gardens.

The pumpkin seeds are from a variety that has won the world record for weight at something like 1700 pounds. I don't think i'll be able to grow them quite that big on my first try, but I'm hoping to be able to get a couple hundred pounds.

The watermelons can be eaten whole, rind and all. They are about the size of a pickle. They're supposed to be very sweet and crisp. I'll update later on with how well they actually work.
