pumpkins

Well done Pete!

Can't compete at all with those winners.

My only surviving pumpkin weighed in at 3.5 lbs.
The one that was eaten by slugs and went mushy I would guess could have been about 12-14lbs. Not very impressive.

Anybody else got pumpkin pics? :D

.

 

I'll let you have some seed for next year if you like jjordie :D :D

 

That's very kind of you Pete but I still have
some left from last year. I think I must have given the best ones away

And after this year's pathetic showing I think I should give them all away

 

Dont worry about it, we all have bad years from time to time.

 

Amazing Pete, but what on earth will you do with them?

 

That's the question I've been asking myself Dave :confused:

:D

 

:D :D :D

 

Any ideas gratefully recieved Dave.
Its right about now I'm starting to wonder why I grew them in the first place. :D

 

hmmm...... for the dozens of pumpkin pies you can make???? (one of the most over-ratted on the planet....) !!!!!!

 

Pal - record breaking one you have there, I see!!!! :D :D

 

"It's right about now I'm starting to wonder why I grew them in the first place!"

I know Pete - but it's satisfying to grow something so large isn't it? Think I used a small one last year and gave the others away.

And Paladin - how much does your pumpkin weigh?
About 4 lbs ?

 

14 actually

 

Perhaps we'll believe you!
but if it is, not a bad size to make a pie :D

 

Yes it is satifying to grow something that big jjordie, I think I'll keep them until halloeen, maybe someone will want them.
