Wish I'd seen this thread earlier as I would have joined. I threw a seed in a pot and almost threw it away when it wasn't up after 10 days. neglected it a bit and then stuck it in the corner of my new allotment expecting the rabbits to eat it. They didn't and it's just taken  I just left it to it and it's got about 8 decent pumpkins on it at least. Just need to find some pumpkin recipes now

It is the right link, but for some reason the page looks all messed up. I'll try it another way............

Well the time came to harvest the beast for the show tomorrow and here is our entry.
Its showing just over 44kg on the scales that's 96.8 lb.

Will get an official weight at the show tomorrow.

Me and the wife haven't laughed so much for ages when we were carrying it to the car we nearly dropped it a few times.

  Goodness gracious me! Well done on growing such a monster and good luck with the show. However, I'm a bit depresed 'cos I thought 1 of mine was large......now I know better

I hope everyone knows where their tape measures are - just a few weeks more growing unless we're really lucky with the weather 

Please show the measurement, with photo to prove it, by 31st October, when competition will end.

Well done, bravemurphy and family!  Out of interest - what was the circumference? and variety?
