The film above shows a female pumpkin flower being hand pollunated.

Its a jungle in Pumpkin City!

What growth in just 2 weeks!


The last two weeks I have been pollinating several flowers per day, usually about three.


The growth on some of the plants has been tremendous!

Some have fruit and these can be seen below.

The biggest dissapointment has been the Atlantic Giants. A couple of fruits have set, but were either eaten or dropped off, some of the pants have been dug up and time is running out for them.

Nearly all of the "Seeds of Pumpy" plants have fruit, some bigger than others and some are still flowering. Bear in mind these are seds that were produced from the seed of a pumpkin purchased from a supermarket nearly a decade ago. Most have several fruits on them and they are BIG plants!

This one has two fruits growing.

Compare this photo with some earlier ones to see just how big these plants are getting.

Patch update!

Its Pumpkin City out there!

Some of te plants are doing really well, som e not so but its still 12 weeks until the end of October.

The Pumpkin that was on Frankie, fell off, but another was pollinated and can be seen under the plastic in this photograph.

Some photos of teh other fruits that have already set will follow.
