Here are Turks Turbans for my 'Prettiest Pumpkin' entry.


They do make good eating, despite lots of folk saying to the contrary

What a vibrant colour, they are such an interesting pumpkin

Been and measured today - but I need to go back with a bigger tape measure. Here are the photo's. My tape only went to 150cm. Tied a bit of string around and measured once home....it measured 195cm. However they are still on the vine and I might get a cm or two more so I will measure again with a bigger measure and provide photo's at the end of the month.
I have two pumpkins, both measuring about the same, these a photo's of the original one I posted, this one has a slightly split stem which might be hampering it's growth, the other one which has caught it up has got a complete stem so it might overtake yet - don't know how much growing they do in these last few weeks.

Nothing to rival the big boys on here, but my collecion of squash

Well it's time for my final measurement as I took it off the allotment yesterday - with help from my lovely step dad. My final measurement is 6ft 11 inches which converts to 210.8cms. 
Just for anyone that might be interested (this comp is based on size) it weighs 69.56kg which is more than me!!
Here is the photo, I have another if the measurement isn't clear enough.

[allotment-shed]

Well, we did try. Ours was just 1.2m circumference and weighed 20kg.
But we'll try harder next year. Good luck to the winner!
