pumpkin question
« on: February 15, 2015, 23:23 »
As I intend growing a few pumpkin this year just wondering if it would be possible to grow a Square shaped one if it was grown in some sort of constricting frame device?

Don't see why not, they do the same with watermelons in Japan.

At the very least it'd be a cool experiment!

I did it by accident.  Was growing a sprawling pumpkin on top of the compost heap - the type that has a number of smaller fruits - worked really well.  Found one that had started growing down the back trapped in between the pallets of 2 composts and came out flat on 2 sides.  Still tasty.

And they certainly end up with a flat bottom if they are left on the ground!
