I'd like to play please  :D
The seeds I kept from last year's 'Atlantic Giant' aren't guaranteed to be entirely pumpkin but we'll see!  :lol:

You don't have to go far afield to get them, Jay:

Atlantic Giant

In fact they're the ones I and a lot of others grow.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

All grown outside.

A pumpkin plant is way too huge for your standard greenhouse.

well that certainly gives me a little encouragment we are fairly sheltered in our rear patio by our building and 6 foot fencing on other 2 sides and get the sun quite well for most of the day, so i should manage to grow something larger than a grape then ??  :D

Well, I guess it's me that enters really, being the member on here, but it'll be my lads that will lay claim to any success! 
Good luck everyone and have fun. x x x

I only bought my seed from the garden centre, but I wondered how much the "top" seeds were. If you go to www.pandpseed.com you can buy ONE seed for $25
Although they do some really weird stuff worth looking at.
