Planting and Care Guide:
1. **Selecting a Site:** Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Ensure there's plenty of space for the vines to sprawl, as Atlantic Giant pumpkins require a lot of room to grow.

2. **Preparing the Soil:** Before planting, enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure to provide essential nutrients for vigorous growth. Aim for a soil pH between 6.0 and 6.8.

3. **Planting Seeds:** Plant Atlantic Giant pumpkin seeds directly into the ground after the last frost date in your area. Plant seeds 1 inch deep and space them 6-8 feet apart in rows, or provide a mound of soil for each seed if growing in hills.

4. **Watering:** Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply to encourage deep root growth, especially during dry periods. Avoid overhead watering to prevent disease.

5. **Fertilizing:** Fertilize regularly with a balanced fertilizer high in potassium and phosphorus to support healthy fruit development. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application rates.

6. **Support and Pruning:** As the vines grow, provide support for the developing pumpkins by placing them on straw or wooden boards to prevent rotting. You may also choose to prune excess foliage to improve airflow and sunlight penetration.

7. **Pest and Disease Control:** Monitor plants regularly for signs of pests such as squash bugs or cucumber beetles. Control weeds to reduce competition for nutrients and moisture. Apply organic or chemical controls as needed for common pumpkin diseases like powdery mildew.

8. **Harvesting:** Harvest Atlantic Giant pumpkins when they reach their full size and the stems begin to dry and turn brown. Use sharp shears to cut the stems, leaving several inches attached to the pumpkin. Store in a cool, dry place for best keeping. Enjoy your giant pumpkin for carving, cooking, or display!
