Turned up tonight at lotty to water and feed the old punk'in' only to find the plant has died, all black and crispy so off came the punk'in' and it weighed in 52lbs which I must say I am really pleased with as this was the first year we grew one and I have no idea what type it is. So the little anarchist will wake up and the it will be in the kitchen. We beat the others by a country mile and more some. Atlantic giants next year I feel.

sorry Andy, didnt want to leave it on as the plant part was dying off really bad so got it out quick so I could store it until halloween. I will post a pickie tonight of the anarchist and punk'in'.

... it's funny I get nearly as many wow comment about my pumpkin as I do my nails ...  

That pic was taken before I started any work, but I wear gloves most of the time and as soon as I get home I give them the once over with a nailbrush.  They're naturally very very white though, blame all da milk I drank as a child on daddy's farm ...

Earlier this year I was trying to plant pea plantlets in the pouring rain.  I was so wet and muddy and cold that in the end I took off my waterproof jacket and rolled my jeans up to my knees as it was marginally more comfortable ... should have had my photo and sent it to Munty.
