£2.99 in our local grocers or £1.00 in Tesco :shock: :shock: :shock:

Some growers are not making much money.

They get cheaper towards halloween too and then virtually disappear,zero production in this garden this year

so as soon as they reach the right price in our local veg shop I will be buying a few to store a nd some to soup.I`m not sure how they make anything either.

I read that because of the poor summer that pumpkin prices were going to be huge this halloween.a local suppiler near me lost over 40 percent of his usal crop due to the poor weather.
that seems a bargin

what on earth would you do with a 75ib pumpkin?
do people buy them at 30 quid? :shock:

mine was just above the size of a basket ball(yes i know its not very big)
but i chopped mine for freeing today and i had three ice cream tubs out of it.which is more than enough for me.

:cry: I was in Marks today and the girls pleaded with me to buy a pumpkin. I said - yes, but we've got two on the allotment. They said yes, but they're too small. :cry:

They just get more and more critical,as they age. You've been warned.

Mental note for next year. Grow one large pumpkin, not several small ones. Or better still, get the girls to grow their own pumpkins!!
