    I put pumpkin seeds in my bread - they are very tasty . I lay them flat on a grill tray and grill them until they start to POP!!,

        I checked with admin on whether I could post the following. Whilst GC doesn't condone the use of guns I have kindly been given permission to post the following video.

        A different way to carve a pumpkin, please don't try this at home!

          Our biggest pumpkin came in at 54.8 pounds ..... My first year at growing Pumpkins, and if I'm honest, I didn't really give them the water they needed through the summer months.

          I'll post a pic of the carving which happened to them...... Care of the Donna :D
