| How to Grow World Class Pumpkins the All Organic Way |  | | |
| | | Don Langevin. 194 pages. 9X7" Softcover. Full color. How-to-Grow World Class Giant Pumpkin – The All-Organic Way is the fourth book that Don Langevin has written on giant pumpkins. This one takes a new, organic approach to growing them that considers the soil and its members in a whole new way.
Langevin still covers the subject in depth while introducing the concept of the Soil Food Web for maximizing the potential of plants.
There are chapters on soil preparation, seed selection, seed starting, early and late protection, transplanting, critter control, vine burying and pruning, weed and grass control, pollination, insects and diseases, selecting the right fruit, troubles, estimating weight, lifting, harvesting seeds, and more. The Soil Food Web is covered in chapters on bacteria, fungi, earthworms, and more.
Besides all this, there is the most comprehensive presentation of the history of giant pumpkin growing ever written. It covers the many growers and pumpkins responsible for the rise in weights since 1857 – and more significantly, the modern history starting in 1976.

| | | Ann Whitman, The Editors of the National Gardening Association. Paperback, 360 pages. Organic gardening means different things to different people.
