So far I am in squash heaven. Nothing mahoosive, but by 'eck some of them are pretty!

It depends what variety it is. Mine have never been green and are gradually going orange from a very pale yellow.

Last years big pumpkin seed has done ok too!

This season the Pumpkin I am growing is called Atlantic Giant.
Can I save the seeds for sowing next year?

I've taken a photo with the watering can to give an indication of size.

So long as you don't have other pumpkin/squashes in the vicinity, you know that the seed will grow true to type next year so saving seed will be fine. Leave the pumpkin on the plant as long as possible, and feed heavily with potash/comfrey etc etc to ensure good viable seed for next year.

I thought id entered is it too late now?

Sorry, I've checked your posts and there's no request to enter on this thread. To be fair to all, I'm afraid it's way too late.

that's going to be one scary Halloween pumpkin boddy

Went to the Harrogate Flower show yesterday. Mine looks bigger than the 2nd prize heaviest pumpkin but no where near the first prize which was a whopping 300lb. I went up the allotment today to have look. It's not as round anymore and putting weight on the sides. Don't know how much longer it will grow though as the stem is slightly split.

Does anyone have any ideas on how the heck I'll move it? It's right down the bottom of the allotment! Someone suggested rolling on to a tarpaulin with lifting handles with several people to move. Where would you get a tarpaulin with lifting handles?

use a builders' bag ........... they can move a tonne 

[boddy]

how are everyone's pumpkins doing? I will take some updated pics of mine, my large one seems to have stopped growing and has been caught up by another so I'm not sure which is biggest. I have a plan now of rolling into builders bags and then using 'slide sheets' - like they use to move people in bed - toe manoeuvre the bag up the allotment.
