Grow some big orange pumpkins in the garden and in the autumn harvest and carve them into frightening faces and other scary shapes - just right for Halloween!

Growing Information

Sow your seeds from April to May. Sow your seeds individually into small pots on a warm, well-lit windowsill. Cover the seed with compost and watch for the appearance of the small seedlings which should take 5-7 days. Grow on your young plants and put them outside during the day in May to get them used to the outdoors, but bring them back in at bedtime. Plant out in a warm sunny place in early June. Ready to eat or carve from September.
