Topic: Spacing for giant pumpkins?

[Jayb]

I'm hoping to have a try at growing a large, well large for me pumpkin. I've raised a couple of plants and I'm now wondering how much space is going to be needed for each? Nothing like forward planning!  ;D

 my spacing is 2meters by8meters for 2pumpkins, plant each end and grow towards each other.

Thanks Springs, I'll follow your advice I’m only going to plant out 2 so that sounds good to me  ;D

Cheers for the links Neil, it is a first for me too so perhaps we can do a giant/big as you can pumpkin support thread because I have not got much of a clue  ;D

Good luck for Tuesday Gaz, I think the weather is meant to be improving. I'm a bit behind you so really intrested to know how it goes :)
