Gosh! I'd have been thrilled skinny to have grown the one that's been poked under the plank to stop it collapsing! What a whopper!

 my youngest son brought his wagon home and come to get the big one to take home  its now sat in his back garden wiating to be carved thanks to his hiab crane on the wagon  well done on growing a 202 lb pkn

The expertise handling huge pumpkins on your allotments is astonishing! 

Mind you, so was the size of the pumpkins I saw at the weigh-in ;D
