[FoxHillGardener]

Our efforts. We are eating a lot of roasted pumpkin seeds and have a vat of soup

[SMT]

Well heres the finished article. Theme was 'witches' so hopefully it lookes like one!

[lettucegrow!]

Amazing! You're obviously very talented- and patient. Really set the standard for next year!!

[Brengirl]

Absolutely brilliant but you are very naughty to put 'ping' bit in. I screamed and spilt my tea.

Thankyou again and look forward to next installment.

[SMT]

Sorry about the spilt tea! I didnt realise what you meant by 'ping'. Then it clicked - you were talking about the growers diary. I'll have to include a warning from now on my signiture! lol

[janeyo]

I am officially haning up my carvers after seeing that! Fantastic!

[Nicos]

I'm glad I didn't post mine now

Well done to all of you- they're fantastic!

[HeyWayne]

Holy mozzies!

Magnificant there SMT, good job. Really good job.

[Bren In Pots]

Wow I'm impressed, did you take any photos of the lit pumpkin SMT ?

[SMT]

Sadly, I didnt manage to get the opportunity at night to take a pic whilst lit. The walls of the pumpkin were very thick (8-9 inch thick in places) so you proabably wouldnt have seen anything anyway.

Grateful for people liking the pumpkin. Thankyou.

SMT...do you carve wood or something for a living???...there is absolutely no way my brain could even draw that in 2D never mind carve it in 3D!!!...I'm utterly gobsmacked when peeps can do something so talented as that

[Brengirl]

I so admired some body painting earlier in the week. Your talent is akin to that and more!

[Keith2202]

Wow, incredible!

SMT...do you carve wood or something for a living

No. I've never carved anything in my life till about 5weeks ago on my first carving. Although saying that when theres a blob of blue tac around I seem to mold it into faces of some sort.
