Prize Pumpkin


This is John with an enormous pumpkin, weighing in at 6 stone with a diametre of 2 foot. The plant itself spread over nearly half the vegetable garden - 11 metres long. The story is my eldest son Jamie is learning how to grow veggies and needed a courgette plant. A gardening friend donated a plant to me but wasn't sure what it was. Turned out to be said pumpkin which grew and grew - was never fed but was in a bed that had lain fallow for a few years. Jamie has the awesome task of dealing with the yellow beast!
