We are getting close to Christmas so shipping is a gamble and also a nice slow wander through plants always makes me feel better. And the seedlings can live in their seedling pots for a few days until you have the energy to pop them in a bigger pot.

I managed to get some seedlings - marigolds and cherry tomatoes. There weren’t any smaller variety pumpkin plants so I got golden nugget seeds.
The pumpkins will be larger than the jack be littles and the cost of stockings to support them is steep but I’ll sort it out

Marigolds and cherry tomatoes 👌🏻 In my pumpkin experience they are pretty hardy even if left to sprawl. But I am no expert. All my pumpkin growing was by accident because they self seeded from the compost. I always had a pretty live and let life approach to gardening

I would let them sprawl but there’s some serious barriers to using the patches of soil I have access to, and I haven’t got the soil samples tested yet.
I’d love to be able to do inground
