Time to plant out, a little late in the year really for a giant pumpkin, but I’ve had issues with germination, batches of seeds, and today when planting out we had the heaviest hail storm for years, and I got very wet!

Pumpkin Day 3
Pumpkin Day 3
I’ve had to “fettle” with one of the seedlings carefully because it’s leaves were stuck in the tissue paper.
I’ve moved the seedlings into to the greenhouse this morning, because the glass porch gets too hot (45 degrees C) and burns the seedlings.
The greenhouse is also more humid, so better for the emergence of the first leaves.

Happy Halloween 2015
Saturday, October 31st, 2015In an Andysworld yearly tradition, Happy Halloween, and Welcome To The Great Pumpkin Massacre of 2015. I’ve been growing my large Atlantic pumpkin this year, which weighed just short of 10kg, I’m afraid I lost to my work colleague, who’s pumpkin weighed in at 17kg! So freshly picked from the allotment this morning, and slaughtered and carved this evening!

It has been rubbish weather this year for growing pumpkins, and very few fruits, set correctly, this was the only one, early in the year.
Slaughtered, and carved!
