@joesgarden: Today we are back and I am showing you a fun way to save the seeds from your Halloween pumpkins, and use them to grow your very own pumpkin patch at home. This weekend and next week lots of us will be carving pumpkins, but instead of throwing away the seeds let’s keep them to grow our own at home. Pumpkins can be grown in the ground in your garden or in a large pot. Wherever you are growing them, just make sure they are well fed with good compost and liquid seaweed every two weeks. When it comes to saving seeds, you can end up with a slightly different variety from the plant you saved the seed from, but for me that is part of the fun! Last year we saved seed from giant pumpkins from the pumpkin patch and grew our own giants! However yours might be slightly different. Growing pumpkins is actually really simple, just make sure to water them regularly as they can be quite thirsty plants. I sow my seeds in mid April, and then they are ready to harvest from September onwards. The more sunlight and better soil they have the better your harvest will be. If you are trying to grow a large variety, keep no more than two pumpkins per vine, but I am only growing them for carving so I let four or five grow per vine. I hope you are all having a lovely week, and I love you all, Joe 😊🌱🎃💚 #pumpkin #growingpumpkins #gardening #zerowaste #gardeningtips #Sustainability
