Anyone grow them before? I started some seed the other day. Last year was my first year growing them but I didn't have much success. One of the vines died before it got 10ft long and the other only grew a basketball sized pumpkin before dieing. I think it was because of the location so this year they will be going in a much, much better location.

A few of the seeds I started after less then 2 days. They are in a zip-lock baggy on a damp paper towel then placed on top of my tv which keeps them nice and warm.
