Now there's a thought!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Can we join please - never grown one before but we'll give it a go once we figure out where to put it.  Any clues from anybody on seed varieties that'll suit the under 12's age group ?

If you're going for big, (no point entering unless you're going for "pretty"!), it needs to be something like "Atlantic Giant".

Thanks DD - I just googled images of that and nearly choked at some of the monsters and laughed at the bit of spare space i originally thought they could have  :ohmy:  We'll try and get some of those seeds and try and grow something bigger than a ping pong ball  :)

I bought my "Atlantic Giant" seeds today, I think I am just going to plant three on the plot and forget everything else!!!  ::)
Acquired a third of a plot in January 2011 which was extended to three quarters in December 2011. Managed by myself and my 6 year old son.

The last time I grew an Atlantic Giant, it took up 35 square metres!
(yes I am sad, I measured it)
And it wasn't even that big, I only got 120 Kg.
I got fed up with roast Pumpkin, so I made 35 gallons of wine with it.

All the way from my allotment in beautiful Derbyshire. I'm in year 3 of my allotment and wish I'd caught the bug years ago, things growing from strength to strength
