Where can I buy a pumpkin plant? Have I left it too late?

[Roundbales]

My DS desperately wants to grow a pumpkin. We have only recently started growing our own vegetables and have managed potatoes, strawberries and onions so far.

Now DS wants pumpkins for Halloween...have I left it too late? My local BandQ didn't have any plants left and said it might be too late anyway.

Local plant nursery or garden centre. Too late to plant seeds usually , but get some and try. Pumpkins love the compost heap.

saw some last weekend at a diy store.

they should already have at least flowers on them if not little pumpkin-kins.

for next year, sow in may, plant out in june,

Thank you for all your replies, DH is going to drive into the next town tomorrow to see if he can find any.

DH been on the hunt but can't find any locally to us. Decided to by the seeds and take the risk, just hope they grow.

Visit the local allotment, bet there are plenty going spare.
