hi all
i just thought i would show you some of the the pumpkins & marrows we grew on the allotment..

the biggest marrow..front middle of pic was 8lbs & made a lovely soup with chilli peppers onion garlic & ginger…


as you can see the heaviest pumpkin weighed just over 9lbs..

and the smallest was 1/2lb ..i have grown them for halloween for my grandchildren and Logan has claimed the "cute baby one "…as well as a bigger one of course

this was the average weight of the other marrows..


and this 4lb one we brought home yesterday..along with the last of the bumpy cucumbers lol..


i made these with my granddaughter.. not a pumpkin i know..i had none left lol..


a bit cold & damp here today, just off to the allotment.. happy halloween..

You've certainly had a successful harvest of marrows and pumpkins. That last photo of the carved marrows is quite cute...puts a whole new spin on "being green." lol
