Now these aren't pumpkins we grew, but I thought you'd like to see them.
OH designed this Pumpkin Man, which is still on display at Kew Gardens at the moment, even though he was only supposed to be there for their autumn festival.
Apologies for the late upload, but OH has only just handed over his pictures!

The little triffs love him to bits.
In fact the grass in front of him has been entirely worn away by children hopping up and down and adoring him!
In daylight he's really very amiable, you know...
and no one's seen him at night since those first pictures were taken of him 'coming to life'...
(Kew is really, really dark at night, so who knows where he gets to then :o ;) )

Better late than never...
The flat-ish bright orange ones are Vif Rouge d'Etampes
The upright orange one is Quintale
The 2 yellow ones are spaghetti squash
The dark green round ones are Marina di choggia
The long green one and the speckled round one are overgrown courgettes
The narrow yellow one is an Unidentified Italian Squash
The curly haired one is my daughter.

Better late than never! Visitors to other sections of A4A but have seen my first attempts at posting pics - but I'm still trying to get it right.
This pumpkin was my first ever effort (2005) and weighed exactly 70 lb. This years one only made 62lb. I didn't take a pic but it looked much the same as this one!
Really enjoyed looking at all your growing successes, wonderful! Thank you.

Great fun, Grandma!
This year's pumpkin may have looked much the same as the one in your picture,
but I bet the boys have grown out of all recognition!
