Giant Pumpkins Ireland GIY

We are a group of enthusiastic giant vegetable growers, based in Louth but members are spread throughout Ireland.

We hope to provide an interactive web site to the giant pumpkin growing community in Ireland! We would also like to promote the exciting sport/hobby of giant pumpkin and giant squash growing by helping new comers get started.

We host events every year such as our Spring Growers Seminar in March and our Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off to celebrate the harvest come October!

Hi Guys,

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 😊🎃
