When should i plant out my pumpkin
« on: April 10, 2009, 09:46 »
Hi,  I have a pumpkin plant growing in a pot and I am not sure how large I should let it get before planting it outside - can anyone let em know what they do with their pumpkin plants ?

It's not so much when it gets to a certain size, but when you can be sure that the last frost has gone.

We had a really sharp one late May last year, so it's a good few weeks yet. I have yet to sow mine yet for that very reason
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

About a week's time. Courgettes, marrows, squashes etc. at the same time.

Forecast for around here is for possible ground frost Sunday evening  ;)

Nothing tender should go out until the 1st June IMHO
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.

You'll probably be OK, but be prepared to keep them inside. It's the folk that have big plants already that will be struggling.
