Look at the size of my………..

  Big Pumpkin

PUMPKIN!!!!

We had a rather strange ‘beanstalk’ (as quoted by a rather curious neighbour) growing right across our lawn over the summer.

First we thought it was a cucumber. But it grew a bit. So we thought, maybe it’s a squash? But it grew a bit more. OK we thought, maybe it’s a marrow? But then it slowly started turning orange.

It was this massive pumpkin!

Said pumpkin has now been harvested and is ready for pumpkin soup.

But, I hate pumpkin!

So, where did this strange triffid come from?

We had our Godson down last Hallowen. Having empied out the pumpkin of the seeds we had fun cutting out a scary face (modelled on Neil!). Seeds from last years pumpkin were put into the compost bin - say no more.

To give you some sense of it’s size, we took a picture of it next to Greebo (very difficult to have him sitting so still) and a enormous tin of Ginger Beer.

    <p>That is one massive pumpkin. On modelling the pumpkin face on Neil, I think pumpkins have more hair!!!!!</p>

    Greebo must’ve been scared when he saw it!

    At least it was only a pumpkin and not one of those pod things that grew replicas of people in that old film, you know the one with Donald Sutherland - The Bodysnatchers!! I was getting a bit worried as it grew so close to the house. The moral of this tale is be careful where you cast your seed……….
