What can you do with your own pumpkins?
Pumpkins are incredibly versatile. They make excellent soups, pies, or purées, can be roasted in the oven, or used to carve spooky lanterns for Halloween. By growing your own pumpkins from seed, you’ll not only enjoy the fresh, rich flavour – but also the satisfaction of growing them yourself.
How do you grow pumpkin seeds?
Pumpkin cultivation requires a bit of planning, but it's a fairly straightforward process even for beginners. Sow the seeds indoors early in the spring, then move them outside once the risk of frost has passed.
Once planted outdoors, pumpkin plants need plenty of space – each plant can spread several metres! They thrive in full sun and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and enrich the soil with compost for the best results.
Choosing the right seeds for your pumpkin patch
Every pumpkin variety has its own charm – some are ideal for cooking while others are better suited for autumn decorations.
