Wondering how to grow pumpkins from seeds? These colourful winter squashes are everywhere this time of year, piled high in farm shops, adorning porches, and gracing autumnal menus. And if you have a bit of space going spare in your garden, it's easy to raise your own harvest for next year.
Pumpkins are a great choice if you're a beginner at vegetable gardening. True, it takes a while between sowing and picking, but it's worth the wait. With proper curing and care, they can store for months once harvested – and many varieties are delicious, whether roasted with herbs or baked into a pie.
