Guy's, I have some good news, No, in fact, some great news, I am going to enter into this years pumpkin growing contest run by the RHS.
I am so excited about this, as I have already a half-decent sized pumpkins growing down on the plot.
I was taken back when I saw the size of these bad boys growing under their leaves.
When I first started this bed a few months ago, I decided to interplant sunflowers and pumpkins together.
Sunflowers grew massive and are even taller than me and I am 6 foot, but the great thing about this bed was the pumpkins growing underneath.
Hidden under all the leaves are two of the biggest pumpkins I have seen at this early in the year.
You know when you plant something and don't check on them, and when you do and you see a size that you can only explain as mother natures work? well, this was one of these times.
I have decided to look after them and keep them well watered and fed, as I think I could really get these things into a monster size.
So I decided to use only nettle tea as the ferts for these vegetables to see how big I can get them.
I have also cut into the plants and berried some of the storks so each pumpkin has its own roots.
They have taken so well and I have noticed a size difference in the last few days of been down there.
I can only hope that I didn't plant these too late in the season, as I only have until the 17th of September to entre.
What's the biggest pumpkin you have ever grown?
until next time my friends stay safe.
