Growing Pumpkin

View the Pumpkin page

06 May 09 Mason Batley (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
I'm currently living in Finland and I've managed to grow 2 pumpkins in plastic party cups which are currently about 15cm and I'm going to plant the in the forrest, somewhere suitable to hopefully produce pumpkins in this cool climate which gets down around the -15 mark in winter but in summer it can get in the 20-30 mark so we will see how they go. I'm experimenting at the moment by putting cups with newly planted seeds into our sauna which is around 30c most of the time because of the infloor heating and it's a well insulated room and then I could bring the seedlings out when they rise above the soil. Will see how it goes! :)
