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.
This is my first year growing them, so i have no idea.

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 :)
