I do i grew JOL ones last year but i had svb(squash vine borers) that ruined it for me and this year im growing 300 pounders. The advice i can give you is invest in some harvest guard (like a screen) to keep the insects off your vines trust me those things are EVIL!!! and will ruin all your hard work real fast they bore through the vines nasty little things! They need lots of water but make sure you dont over water either and if you do the harvest guard you will have to hand pollinate b/c the bees cant get in which is no big deal i hand pollinate all my pumkins so i know they take. Oh and only water the base on the vine NOT the leaves Good luck!
