They won't grow well in cold weather. I've heard of people growing miniature pumpkins in a large pot. And the gentleman that did the "clones" kept his plant alive in his basement all winter by taking many rooted cuttings.

Sorry, that really wasn't much help, just some thoughts and a little information.

maybe not in a pot, but in the soil in a greenhouse. Just keep the temp. above 32 degrees.

Yo Bigpumps,
I know that somebody has grown a 500lber in Ireland...couple of years back...we had a England-Ireland competition...we won but a few biggies were grown over there.

hey Bigpumps,

Is it always cold in Ireland? Or do you get summers that are warm?
