I had to put the code in, and it did not give free postage until I had removed the other items from the basket, but then it worked, some more free seeds.

Do I really want to grow giant pumpkins? Probably not, I'll start it and then get somebody to addopt it, as long as I get visitors rights.

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.  ::)

Post by: Bubbles26 on April 25, 2012, 19:51:43
I must say I'd be P****d off if I had paid £10 for two seeds for them to do nothing
Title: Re: totally free pumpkin seeds
Post by: CambourneSandra on May 03, 2012, 21:28:19

Title: Re: totally free pumpkin seeds
Post by: banksy on May 04, 2012, 09:32:14
1 of the 2 seeds has now germinated....  ;D No special treatment just been left in tunnel to their own devices.

Will see if anything becomes of the other one
Title: Re: totally free pumpkin seeds

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!
