It's great to see people's pumpkins, esp. Dark Crystal's, after all the stress she had growing them earlier on in the year.

a selection of pumpkins and methods
You can see a few different growing methods on our site.
1) Planting pumpkin in a compost heap seems to encourage lots of leaf, not much fruit.
2) even with extra heat (glass surrounds) he's still only got one pumpkin
3) this one is too big even for the wheelbarrow (ground in the ground)
4) I prefer something I can carry! Gold NuggetAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment
