Hello,

I bought some pumpkin seeds, forgetting that my mum is already going to
grow vegetables in the garden.

I was wondering if they could be grown in pots? It seems that you can,
going by websites, but not much information is given, so I was hoping
for a better opinion.

Can be done in a big pot but may not be particularly successful - we grew
one plant last year but only got very small pumpkins.
Probably lack of proper feeding but they do require a lot of food.

We grew some pumpkin plants in a container last year. The first batch
of seedlings got slugged, so the second batch started a bit late in
the season. We ended up with one pumpkin which looked like a marrow
on the outside (although it was orange inside). I'm planning to try
again though.
That's a shame they didn't work out. I guess I won't be able to grow them. I'll see if a friend has space to plant them.
