Shroomeup Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) I'll post some more up when I return home. She's getting pretty big but after seeing that bloke in the paper with his 380kg monster i'ma little deflated. After reading his growing technique I see where Ive gone wrong. One bag of horse poo scattered around it and only water from the sky prolly aint gonna cut it.

GoOnThen Posted March 13, 2012 Well it turns out I have normal blue (jarradale ?) pumpkins. The person that sold the seeds (ebay) obviously thought his pumpkin was a giant when really it was just large I have been waiting for them to change colour as all of the giant ones that I have seen are orange but there is not a hint of orange they are all blue On a positive note I am going to be able to supply friends and family with enough pumpkin to keep them going for some time. At this point I have about 10 pumpkins on my main (competition) vines and another five or so Kent pumpkins at the moment. The vines have been hammered by powdery and dowdy mildew but they are still growing , flowering and setting new fruit I will still measure and weigh the biggest pumpkin when I pick them but I would think I am going to get my ass kicked by most of you. I only have a size 8 foot Cheers Got 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOnThen Posted April 10, 2012 I picked the first lot on the weekend. I still have around 5 or 6 still on the vines The biggest is in the pic below. Circumference 1030mm Diameter 330mm I don't have a weight at the moment Where are all the rest of the pumpkins post your pics and sizes. It looks like hillbilly beats me by 40mm on circumference Cheers Got 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Psylo Posted April 12, 2012 Hillbilly's other prize (apart from the ring munching from 5-star Charlie) is that all the non-winners will be sending him their season's pumpkins for him to eat. Hope you like pumpkin, cowboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
