Hey fellow growers/plant lovers its my first attempt at growin pumpkins,these seeds were given to me by my uncle who thought they had no chance as they are apparently years old,i started by germin 4/6 successfully and they seem to be goin strong (they're maybe 2 weeks old)
Just want sum advice on where i plan on planting i have about 20cm of basically pure sand which then turns a heavy clay loam,will they be sweet in this soil?
Sum tips on preparing the bed and any other comments much appreciated!
cheers

yes they should do fine in that soil,
they dont need much to grow dig the spot add some organic matter and plant give them lots of sun and lots of water and you will grow some good pumpkins...

you wont have to worry to much about the powdery mildew ,and as to the soil dig in the straw but pumpkins don't really need a super fertile patch to grow in just a lot of water.

i have included a photo of my pumpkin mounds and they are just yellow sand and a bit of sheep shit thrown in.and i just use powerfeed and seasol every 2nd week
