Yep agreed, and pumpkins don't do well in tunnel houses, the have to get cold at night

Mine grow all by themselves in a partiallycomposted bin!
Planted two plants in the garden & have about 5 pumpkins & the self sown job is like a triffid .at least 14 pumpkins on it.
How many pumpkins can one use .so it will be a few to give away this year, I reckon.

Planted three plants and have only four pumpkins, not a great success rate, hopefully more will develop soon.

my bought one I planted a couple of months or so ago.only just really starting to do anything now.the self planted on in the compost.has taken off and is about 15 times the size and has little pumpkins on it. Should have saved my money on the bought one :)
