      Well it was a poor year Richard, I'm guessing all carved pumpkins where on the Halloween topic this year.

      Onward to next year, my last one for giants.

      Well done to those who got large fruits this year !

      Steve...:)

        A bit late to the party but here's my carving effort (I grew the Jack-Be-Little pumpkin in his mouth):

          Hmmm, looks very much like misterQ when he's up to mischief.

          But, it certainly isn't big enough.

            Not only does a 95 stone (600kg) pumpkin float, it's pretty nippy in the water too.

            It's pictured closest as it takes part in the "world's first pumpkin boat race" at Hyde Hall near Chelmsford.
