Hi, first time posting here. Does anyone know whether pumpkins will bear when planted in large pots? IÂve never planted them that way but if they would bear, I would like to help my grandson plant some at his house as he doesnÂt have anywhere to plant them in the groundÂÂ..parents arenÂt gardeners and front/back yard is all nice lawn. I want to get him interested in gardening and growing his own jack O lantern seems like a good way to start. Once the vines reach the ground from the pots, they will be able to spread and we could keep them fertilized. Anyone ever tried this.
