Mine have been planted two weeks and still not showing hopefully its the cooler temps not germinating the seeds yet. I have them in my greenhouse at present and that's where I started them last year

Me please 

[Squibbs]

Can you add me too please

I've only just decided to plant pumpkins again this year - they will be outside, not in the polytunnel - so I doubt they will be as big and they have to survive the chicken's attentions.

I hope everyone has remembered to boil their seeds for 30 minutes and then plunge them into battery acid to promote healthy growth. 

I'm determined to win this year

well they might have done that, but I bet they forgot the daily sprays of roundup, and the quick blast with the blowlamp when it is cold....

Thanks for reminding me, not a hope without doing that.

No need for any of that, send in the greenfly brigade to cut out the growing point.

Finally two of mine are poking through. Very pleased as one is a blue variety called blue moon another is the tom king which did well last year

[Lawrence]

Mine are still hiding!
I did dig one up to have a look, and they are sprouting, but they are refusing to get out of bed.
I am obviously trying to grow teenagers!
I might have to give up on going for the biggest and call in Avon and go for the prettiest!

just heard on news that york maze are offering a 2k prize for anyone who can beat the UK's heavist pumpkin record

Mine have now germinated and are under way.  I've turned up the temperature on the heated propagator to try and catch up due to the cold weather we've had.
