You'll have to wait for the swimming costume section to see it :P :D

The progress so far .

The pumpkin with the kids is longer then it is round .The circumference around the largest way is 81" or 64" across the middle.

Are those all your pumpkins!? :o wow, they look fantastic, I only have one big pumpkin and it looks like a baby by comparison ;D

Simon05 · « **Reply #345 on:** August 31, 2006, 14:24:32 »

WOW :o Travman.

My jack o lantern look like babies compared to them.

Just out of interest what type are you growing?
Might have a go at them next year!

My biggest pumpkin last week, though it has grown a bit more since then. I know I have no chance when I look at others particularly Travman, but it is a bit of fun and they are so great to grow! :D busy_lizzie

I am really impressed. Was wondering, would I be able to use my grey/blue pumpkins (whose name escapes me) as I don't have any traditional ones to enter the comps??

Leonnie · « **Reply #350 on:** September 13, 2006, 10:12:13 »

Any pumpkin can be entered EJ :) Those pictures are all very impressive, much better than my attempt :)

Curryandchips · « **Reply #351 on:** September 13, 2006, 20:00:15 »

Ditto here, mine are tiny, not even worth posting actually ...

Leonnie · « **Reply #352 on:** September 14, 2006, 13:02:53 »

But you could post a photo of them in the pumpkin gallery, the non-competition thread. :)

Curryandchips · « **Reply #353 on:** September 14, 2006, 13:05:33 »

I will need to check the macro facility on my camera then ... ;D

Leonnie · « **Reply #354 on:** September 14, 2006, 13:10:02 »

;D ;D ;D they can't be that small surely!

lorna · « **Reply #355 on:** September 14, 2006, 17:16:14 »

Leonnie. My first efforts of growing pumpkins are pathetic but it has been fun, I have got squashes bigger than the TWO pumpkins. As soon as John downloads my pics for me I will post them just for a laugh. Will get better seeds next year ;D

Leonnie · « **Reply #356 on:** September 15, 2006, 13:59:13 »

hehe, I keep telling myself the next year will be better and bigger...but they only seem to get smaller each year ::) ;D

Nearly a month since anyone said anything! Am I the first to admit defeat?
My ugly pumpkin was cut and weighed yesterday. 62 lb. (8lb less than last year.) I blame the drought/hose pipe ban. But it's gone away to make a pretty good Hallowe'en lantern. Does anyone else have anything to say?

saddad · « **Reply #358 on:** October 11, 2006, 20:01:37 »

OH went down and cut ours Monday and put them in the Poly, she almost couldn't move the largest but I doubt it is that heavy Grandma...
;D

Doris_Pinks · « **Reply #359 on:** October 24, 2006, 09:08:02 »

Between fixing up the "old" new to us house, I raced to the plot and harvested my squashes, well chuffed with the results, maybe I should just let them get on with it by themselves every year! ;D

My one and only Pumpkin won't be a record breaker,( It had a brush with the councilmans strimmer early on in it's life >:( ) but nearly broke my back getting it in the car (never a bloke on the site when you need one! ;) ) and is still there on the backseat, taking trips around the town, I haven't got the energy to hoick it out yet! ;D Thinking maybe it should be wearing a seatbelt incase of a sudden stop! ;D ;D
Will try and take piccies when I can find a space that isn't covered in tools, wallpaper paste, paint etc! DP
