Pumpkin 'Neon'
« on: May 20, 2011, 11:34 »
Has anyone grown pumpkin 'Neon' before?  I've got three young plants waiting to go out when the weather's warm enough.  The information that came with them said they are 'semi-bush' but didn't say how much space they needed or whether you still need to go and stop runaway shoots from invading other people's allotments.

I haven't grown Neon, but my butternuts are classes as semi-bush and the shoots are not nearly as long as trailing ones. I grw one plant either side of a 4ft wide bed, and they used about 4 x 4ft of space. So I suppose they are like one of the big courgette plants space-wise

I grew one of these last year.. It took up a little space but nothing compared to others.. we only got 2 pumpkins off ours though (little hole in the ground filled with manure) 1 small and 1 perfect halloween pumpkin :)



Am still waiting for my plants to appear this year though.. wondering if the seeds got boiled in the conservatory heat! Wonder if its too late to start again  :blush:

Thanks, both!  Dan78, that's a very impressive pumpkin!  Did it taste good, too, or are they mainly good for carving?
