Growing Pumpkins in Pots

Plot 2 · « **on:** July 26, 2008, 19:06 »

Has anyone had much success at growing Pumpkins in pots ?

We have 5 pumpkins in pots out in the back garden which we started off in the greenhouse,..2 of them have grown very leafy, but, no sign of any pumpkins yet...

We are hoping that they will grow big enough for halloween lanterns...

No, but I haven't tried. Courgettes do well in pots, pumpkins are a bit different. Feed and feed and water and again...

Good luck though.

What size pots are you growing them in?

Pots are 14 inches across,...only really want to try and grow small pumpkins for halloween,...as my 2 nieces are quite small really.

I'm growing one in a A3 sized paper container (one of those universal storage boxes). Is that big enough with daily watering/feeding?
