Hi
I'm an allotment grower from South London and I've just harvested my
largest pumpkin. Grown from 'Hundredweight' seeds bought from Kings, I
had to ask the local vet if I could use his scales to weigh it. It came
to a massive 17.6kg, or 40lb for those of us who still think in
Imperial weights and measures.
I know it would look like a pea compared to the pumpkins grown in
America but I'm quite proud of it and just wanted to share my excitement
with like-minded folk!
Have a good weekend ...
SARAH in Sydenham, South-East London
