          Whats the weight then Scrungee?
          This may be my last year growing pumpkins, so there is a possibility of some seed going free if anyone is interested? Yes I have Atlantic Giants!
          Seen carving sets in the pound shops.

          PS going to Aberdeen/Lossiemouth area next week, whats the rain like up there?

          I wont be doing the carving bit as I'm donating my pumpkin (still haven't weighed it - just incase it went somewhere for 'guess the weight') to the local Guide's Halloween Party. (I also used to donate them to the village school & scouts, the latter now disbanded) So a reminder that the pumpkins from competititions need not be 'wasted'.

          Think I did the right thing getting it indoors as there was ice in barrels and watercans this morning and not much left of the pumpkin plant:
