Does anyone know (louth area), where I can actually buy a giant pumpkin/large pumpkin before Halloween? Would greatly appreciate contact numbers etc.!! Thanks, Aoife
Hi guys,
My name is John, I'm from Wexford. Growing my first pumpkins for the kids. Not expecting a giant one or anything. It is fun to grow something in your garden apart from grass.
My names Aoife, I'm from County Meath and recently came across this site as I'm looking for advice to grow my own pumpkins. I was wondering if I can use the seeds from the inside of a pumpkin that I bought from a local vegetable shop or will I have to go out and buy seeds? If so recommendations would be kindly accepted, Also as I read that you should avoid frost, and as Ireland is such a cold place should I grow them in a greenhouse to start off? Any beginners tips would be kindly accepted! My email is [email protected] ! Thanks in advance 😊🎃
Our Group Meets for our Spring Growers Seminar in March and our Giant Pumpkin Weigh-off in October.
We keep in touch throughout the growing season to troubleshoot problems and offer help and advice throughout the season!
