Hi John,  Can you register me please - rugbymad40 for the competition.  Having a disasterous year so far on the growing front so this might be a turning point.

Best regards

Rugbymad40 (Ian)
Enjoying the traditional ways and values of life.

The competition is now closed to new entrants


Get your post numbers up - don't forget you have to have 50 by measurement day  :)



not that I'm really expecting any huge pumpkins with the weather we've had :(
I'll be lucky if I get any at all  >:(

I'm sure to win the "world's smallest" giant pumpkin this year with mine as it's the size of a cricket ball. ::)
