My potted pumpkin

[New_Bud]

Hiiii all ooh im so chuffed.

I grew a pumpkin in a big pot (roughly 40cm diameter) and planted in about june, I harvested it for halloween today! It isnt huge but its pretty big considering! I'm so proud, i feel like a proud mother or something (is that silly? haha)

Thought I'd post a pic for you all, it can be done!

Has anyone grown a pumpkin in a pot before?

Oh no! Maybe you could staple it back together for that Frankenstein-halloween-pumpkin look!

Hope you told your mum off for being clumsy!! It looked a lovely one too, better than my hail-battered thing that we're going to transform on Thursday

Try pumpkin and ginger jam, it is heavenly, especially as a marmalade substitute on toast.
