we're out - no pumpkin, not even a golfball ..... Checks packet, hmmm, Atlantic Giant       

[simonwatson]

I tried growing Atlantic Giant last year. The biggest I got was the size of a grapefruit. I think it probably needs to be in a polytunnel to really produce something big.

I've grown reasonable AG's outside.

But not this year. 

[shoozie]

That gives me hope for next year's heatwave try DD . We'd have been ok with even a grapefruit SimonW, since it was a first time effort for fun.  The plant eventually took off but the sequence of male/ female flowers was never in sync.

It wasn't a winner size wise, but got the "prettiest" last year, (due more to the display around it, I suspect).

I think with a bit more TLC it would have got bigger, but if I remember correctly, the biggest was also grown outside.

Anyway, just to prove you can get something off an AG outside, this was it:

Mine is the size of a satsuma.

Overall I've had a disappointing year in the garden

Don't forget to take a pic of the measurement - looking good 

[sunshineband]

Mine are much smaller than I would have like but at least there are some 

Photos will be duly organised come the weekend

Juan, our neighbour, had lots of butternut squash, about 40, shame they were not mine, I could have entered

Had a quick measure  64"x72"
Need a couple of bods to help weigh them

[mumofstig]

Here's my squash harvest for 2012 none of them big enough to be worth measuring though 



Don't forget to measure and photo yours by the end of the month
