sorry but I just had to find this one today
a whopping 24.8oz or 703 grams.
with 8 over 400grams, 3 over 500grams I am quite amazed at the size
But this I doubt I will beat for a large second early
I also had a peek at my main crop spuds, and they are some size already!

ah., on advice from this helpful site and this link (
http://attra.ncat.org/attra-pub/organiccrop/tools2.html
) I decided to plant 4 courgette plants in the space the potatoes were in.
I have enough spuds for dinner for the rest of the week, so when i pull the next row i will plan another pumpkin i have ready to transplant.

Yes Emma We couldn't believe our eyes. My daughter Bunjy dug some up on her plot from the seed I gave her and hers were even better. I really didn't expect them to have done any good on our waterlogged plot in Sutton so it was a bonus I just wished that I had put them on the other plot thats got nice sandy soil instead of clay. I will do it next year and then we will have a bloomin drought
