When you look at the photos below, do you think I have room to grow a pumpkin?

Is anyone else getting a tad worried about all this naming of squashes?
I planted one of mine at the end of the tall pea frame yesterday, it's nameless
Hopefully it will also remain slugless - there are a lot of them about atmComment

^^^^ You are right Thelma the next thing will be that they don't want to eat them, and will keep them from one year to the next

All mine have the same name, Richard. When they're a little older and have developed their own personality they'll be given their full names.Comment

I have no idea what you mean, Thelma.

It's all perfectly normal to name veggie plants
I've got Monty the Dorset Naga chilli, Bartholomew the early sown tomato, and Jeremy the indoor Tromboncino. Jeremy's growing very nicely.
Go for it rary. Stick a pumpkin in that gap. As long as you don't mind it trailing halfway across your garden.Comment

Sorry, I meant to say, Rary, yeah go for it. As long as you feed and water, I think it'll be fine. It will take over, though.
Which is what I love about vining pumpkins.
(Does anyone else read the catalogue descriptions and see "compact, non-vining habit" and make a contemptuous snort and turn the page? No?)Comment

SP that shouldn't be a problem as I have a lot of space in my garden,,up the wayOriginally posted by Small pumpkin View Post
Generally watering is not a problem in this areaOriginally posted by 1Bee View Post as for the feeding I am hoping that the bags of seaweed and manure that have been added to make up the container should take care of a lot of that, the bag I am growing them in is the one I filled to see if it will make soil as it decomposes
And are you saying catalogues give descriptions of plants

Ah, now I understand.
First look through, I go Ooooh at the pretty pictures, second look through I read the descriptions..... again and again. I love the catalogues, and they tend to live in the bathroom, so get lots of visitations.
