Only mm

Just been out for a measure and was really surprised.. Something good has come out of 2 weeks of rain...  Fingers crossed they don't vanish.

8 largish pumpkins the 2 biggest 53 and 52 inches girth.

Ah, the old "two tape measure trick!" 

Only joking; those look brilliant (and no, I've never grown them - struggling to even get my little winter squashes to deliver this year!) 

[DD.]

Hang on - don't think it's a level playing field!

Says he who's pumpkins only threw up their first male flowers today. 

[tooo many seeds]

i have one good one slightly bigger than a basket ball is that good at this stage did'nt measure it,i had others but they died off at about cricket ball size,i measure everything in balls

[mumofstig]

It's good compared to my tidlers but not good compared to some others mentioned above 

[Pompey Spud]

At last.....a challenger has risen.

[Junie]

It certainly gets the prettiest award!  What variety is it?

[Pompey Spud]

Atlantic Giant. For some reason it started off with a green tinge.

[Junie]

Mine didn't do that - always boring orange - love them, I hope they stay that colour.

[LilacSandy]

I have one green football at the moment, how do I know when it stops growing?

[DD.]

The measurement on the tape measure stay the same. 

[SUTTY1]

Mine are about football size but similar to pompeyspud atlantic giant but not quite right. Seed from same pkt as last year but green stripey fruit more like a cross between a pumpkin and marrow in shape but its all part off the fun of growing

[Thephoenix572]

Ooh got a second pumpkin growing bit bigger than a cricket ball

[simonwatson]

I've got two fruits on my atlantic giant that are growing. Both bright yellow and the size of a grapefruit at the moment. Fingers crossed.
