    Hello
    I have a pumpkin plant now just getting its first two proper leaves. It was indoors in a south facing window but has still got quite leggy (maybe 7 inches of stem before the leaves). Have repotted but hoping to move it again soon to the allotment. My question is, when I put it on the mound on the allotment, can I sink the stem or will that rot it? I am used to peppers where you can sink leggy plants into the soil to aid stability. Wondered whether pumpkins are different?

    Thank you

      They can rot if over wet. Their natural habit is to sprawl and look a bit leggy so I wouldn't worry. Plant at its current depth and let it go!
