If I plant the seeds from a big orange "Halloween pumpkin" (in spring)
would
they be likely to grow successfully into a big pumpkin? I'd like to give
it
a go, but don't want to waste my time if they won't produce.

Thanks

A few years ago I planted the seed from one of the previous year's
pumpkins, and produced something between a marrow and a pumkin; shaped
like a large marrow but orange in colour. I assume that pumpkin and
courgette had cross pollinated, so beware.
Anyway, mine won a prize for most unusual veg, but was no good for a
Halloween lantern!
