This year's cheapest pumpkin??

bc3000

Apparently there are massive ones in Aldi for £2, but I saw an ad on Netto's website saying it was 99p there, and in Tesco I've seen them for £1.50 and £4, just labelled differently.

Any other cheap pumpkins around?!

I think asdas were about £1.50 or £2. I saw someone getting 3 GINORMOUS ones a couple of weeks ago, he said he always got them early to get the huge ones cheap

Co-op's are £1.49 for various sizes

Just been and picked my own at a local farm. Great experience for the kids and got 2 massive ones for £1 each!

The ones I have seen in Sainsburys today were small and cost £1.50 and the one's in Tesco were all rotting. :rolleyes:

Is it possible to grow pumpkins using the seeds from one I've bought? Will there be pumpkins the following year?

Thanks

Not sure if this is completely correct but I was told that seeds from fruit, veg and flowering plants purchased have a type of seed that can't propogated. Therefore it is doubtful that you would be able to grow anything from those seeds. HTH and that it's correct. x

Hi

I grow my own pumpkins every year and just save the seeds from the previous crop, dry them off and put in an envelope until march
pop them in a pot of compost, plant out in a bed that has some good manure or compost when the frosts are done, keep watered well and hey presto!!
