Growing pumpkins from seed video: Part 1: Sowing pumpkin seeds


In part 1 of this video series, learn how to sow and start your pumpkin seeds in pots. Pumpkins can either be started in pots and propagators until they're ready to be transplanted, or directly sown in the ground in late May-early June.

Plants and gardens have always been a big part of my life. I can remember helping my Dad to prick out seedlings, even before I could see over the top of the potting bench. As an adult, I trained at Writtle College where I received my degree, BSc. (Hons) Horticulture. After working in a specialist plantsman's nursery, and later, as a consulting arboriculturalist, I joined Thompson & Morgan in 2008. Initially looking after the grounds and coordinating the plant trials, I now support the web team offering horticultural advice online.
