I knew a young boy , maybe less than 10 years old , who adopted a watermelon that grew huge from a spit out seed near a kitchen window. the thing got huge. So the next year , he planted a pumkin in the same spot and the pumkin got huge and won at some pumpkin contest like a town fair or whatever.
my theory is that for 100 years (older house) someone dumped compostable stuff from the kitchen window and the soil was so rich that anything that grew there was bound to be good.
now I know zero about growing pumkins more than a foot across but its my theory and the huge watermellon the first year and the huge pumkin the second year by a kid with zero growing experience tells me it was the spot where he grew it.
