New variety Pumpkin

oh that sounds really interesting! how did you get into that? left one is way ahead of the other isn't it?

thats great, bet you keep talking to it to get the pumkin to grow,, i would,, hope they do well lynne

I hope they do well too Sanbaz, my reputation is at stake :-) (joke, Im still a comlete amateur, learning as I go along but got the bug and love every minute of it) Sewingkilla, we subscribe to the Gardening Which magazine which we receive through the post monthly, every year they advertise a number of plants they would like gardners to trial (first come, first served basis) you tick the plants (flowers, veg) you would like to trial, send of the form and if you are one of the first, you receive the seeds with instructions and a diary form etc.

Yes only two germinated, they were planted in the same pot on 20th April, the larger one germinated on 25th and the second on 29th. I guess this is why they are trial plants to see how well they do at which rate etc. Its the first time Ive done it so am enjoying the challenge :-)

Sounds like a great experiment. Keep us posted on how they do.

yes Gilli, I will put updates here as they grow, I have to say they are a bit slow compared to others Ive grown, I guess thats what the trial is all about though to find out if they are worth it. Im looking forward to pumpkin soup at the end of it :-)

And roasted pumpkin seeds too!!.....and pumpkin pie.....pumpkin muffins....pumpkin loaf.....and don't forget to carve one for Hallowe'en. :o)
