                  You may have seen my Giant Pumpkin in The Garden News, 10th November 09.
    Readers may be interested to know that I have put the seed on e-Bay in aid of    Mcmillan Cancer Support. 100% to the charity! Please support this worthy cause!
                   Enter 'charity pumpkin seed' on the e-bay search. My user name is homegarden09.   THANKS ALL!

I just bought a pack, I hope they do not grow too big. Good luck with your fund raising, Catherine

Were the seeds hand pollinated?

Yes they were hand polinated to get them off to an early start. Pumpkins need a long growing season.

Great!   You are the first to purchase, and have started the ball rolling.
Many thanks for your support.

A gentle reminder that according to the Site Policies "Posts & PM's may not solicit donations", however in this case the mods are sure that had permission to post been asked, it would have been granted and we are happy to let this run.

Please don't take this thread as a precedent - ask first.

I've just bought a pack, I think my 6 year old wll enjoy trying to grow this

[digalotty]

my apologies dd, both my parent have recieved help in th last 2yrs from them so a worthy cause indeed

[DD.]

No need to apologise, it is a worthy cause, my amateur radio group has recently donated £1,000 to them.

I hope you can appreciate the site policy as laid down by John is to prevent a flood of appeals and it is done in the best interests of the membership.

Bearing mind my family are about to be using fantastic McMillan nurses, I'm happy to oblige!

[Ropster]

just grabbed a packet, hope I can grow a monster, although I wouldn't know what to do with it once I had. what did you do with yours ?
