Robin, Julie, Maisie and Maddy Dodd's Massive Pompion Harvest




Well what have we here? A message from the Dodd Family to share with all you pompion growers out there. Remember to keep on watering your pumpkins if the weather is dry. If you pinch out flowers and tendrils, more energy will be spent by the plant to swell the fruit!

"We were at Trerice in the Easter holidays and you kindly let us sow some pumpkin seeds. Well, this is how they turned out!

The larger one is 16kg, 23cm high and 42cm in diameter. The smaller one is 11kg, 23cm high and 37cm in diameter.

Thanks for the great experience - hope you like the pictures!"
