Follow our little adventure as we grow our own pumpkins from seed ready to be carved for Halloween.


April – seeds are in.

pumpkin seed being potted

Our pumpkin seeds are in. We potted these towards the end of March. They’ll live in the greenhouse until they are big enough to be planted out. We have Thirty five in total including the seedlings at the front. Full disclosure, the four at the front we bought whilst at the garden centre last week. Couldn’t resist

pumpkin patch needing work

This is going to be out pumpkin patch. As you can see it need a bit of work. So over the next couple of weeks we’ll clear it, dig it over and give it a good weeding. In the past twelve plants have filled this patch so it exciting to see how many we can get this time.


Mid-Month Update

Pumpkin seeds are starting to come through. It turns out we have a few more than we realised! Not sure what we are going to do with them all.

We’ll dig the patch over in the next week or so.
