What good are giant Pumpkins anyway, I mean except to use as seats for dog photos?
I have grown some watermelon and Cantaloupes that are good.
What good are flowers? there are a lot of things people grow that you can't eat although we do like to bake pumpkin seeds, salted they are very good.
I've always liked growing them because they are just a cool plant. One year I grew them and trained them up boards and had a tunnel through the jungle for the GK's to play in, I had 50 pound pumpkins hanging in the ceiling. I'll have to ask my wife where the pics are.
It's just cool to grow something that has leaves the size of a garbage can lid I always grow zucchinis too because they are so beautiful and IMO they are worthless as food. Same with Tomatilias and sunflowers.

You bet, plant them on the edge of your tilled soil and train the vines to grow away from the rest of your garden.
