JoeD 24 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Right fellow members, just wondering if anyone would be interested in a pumpkin growing competition this year? I grow pumpkins every year and do believe mine are fantastic. Anyone that wants to enter in the competition then please put your name down here!, pictures throughtout your growing season would be great! but the most important bit is the end product. I will sort out a prize not sure what yet though. The results have to be in by October 31st yep thats right halloween, as that is my favourite time of the year! Best of luck and I hope we have a few willing growers who will participate. Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid 935 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I'm in, saved some seed from a proper monster last year, and planted them in the polly tunnel 4 days ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JoeD 24 Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Good news I forgot to say, the competition will be based on both size AND quality of the pumpkin! I will not be judging (otherwise I would win ) So we will need a judge sooner the time, I am thinking one of the mods, but we will decide that sooner the time.

Or post a picture like we are all doing All I need as proof is the picture of the pumpkin with a piece of paper with your username on it in the picture and the measurements of the pumpkin, no need to weigh it as I know some people don't have the means to weigh one.

trappa 517 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Not sure here. Love the challenge and sounds great fun but i get broke into regularly and havig a monster pumkin in the garden will only attract more litte arseholes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
