Planted my 2 seeds today, they are in with the melon plants in a heated propagator.

Like Chrispy, I too am hoping that the grandparents amongst my plot neighbours will adopt the plants to get pumpkins with a wow factor for their grandchildren.

Here we go .....

Mine 2 seeds came last Wednesday - Planted last Thursday - No sign of the little devils yet.

Again like others - I really have no need for giant pumpkins but I just cannot resist something that is free lol  ::)

Mine were doing nothing in the kitchen so I popped them in the airing cupboard and forgot about them, one had grown right to the top of the plastic bag and looks a bit twisted and the leaves don't look healthy at all, but these leaves will be replaced soon so not to worry, the other one has done nothing.  ::)
MAY THE CORN BE WITH YOU.

I must say I'd be P****d off if I had paid £10 for two seeds for them to do nothing

One of my seeds germinated - the other did nothing.

Discovered yesterday that the second seed did germinate but was upsidedown so the roots were showing on the top and the tiny leaves were all yellow - I've turned it the right way up but I'm not hopeful that it will come to anything.

I didn't know there was a 'right way up' for planted them! - Another thing learned!
