pumpkins
I've been asked by a friend if pumpkins can be grown in a large pot; and
I've absolutely no idea as I've never grown any! Any suggestions? Is it also correct that to remove all but one or two per plant will encourage a large fruit? |

A pumpkin plant is a horizontal spreader and will be somewhere around six feet or more in diameter at maturity. Franz |

Only 6 feet? We grew some small pumpkin variety last year (can't remember the name off the top...) and it pretty much took over the top of our garden. That said, we made no attempt to contain it since that bit of the garden was "under development", shall we say ;-). Paul DS. |

We use small sticks and guide the runners round in circles, at least that's the theory. :-) -- Regards Bob Some photos of my plants at..... |
