On the positive side, pumpkins grow really quickly from seed sown in the spring

They won't even last until the winter. Plants need light to grow. Not only is your outhouse going to be too dark, but the days are soon going to be too short and too dark.


Plants react to shortening days by going dormant and dropping their leaves: annuals, like pumpkins, don't go dormant they just set fruit, set seed and die, all in the one year.

oh ok thanks sorry for being such a novice haha. at least me and my daughter can have the fun of re planting some more next year x

Why don't you trying growing some mixed salad leaves through the winter? If you grow them in pots or trays, when the weather gets bad you can bring them indoors. Its worth a try and you daughter would enjoy it!

Pea shoots are quick to grow and most children like their sweet taste, have a look at the info on this thread :-

Thanks ill try find a place for them lol do u reckon they will be alright in the greenhouse though? iv only just started getting fruit on then

The strawberries? Strawberries are tough - they'll survive over winter outside under snow usually. If you have them in pots you should give them more protection, perhaps by keeping them in the greenhouse etc. - pots are less insulative than the ground is.
