Weird and wonderful pumpkins

Last year we planted Atlantic Giant pumpkins and Turks Turban pumpkins, we grew them together and made a new type of pumpkin. We named them Giant Turbans. Two of our massive pumpkins were grown in our polytunnel and we found out that because they are tropical fruits they grew bigger and better in the hot moist air. Whilst all the other pumpkins were grown in big tyres.

They were so big and heavy that two people had to carry them, and even Mr Chatwin struggled to carry them.

The pumpkins we grew are going to get sold at our Harvest Festival tomorrow which is on 31.09.10.
