Pumpkins. Sorry all sold out.<\/em><\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”8″ accent_color=”#f1ede8″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

We normally grow four varieties of pumpkin for the Halloween period. The smaller 1kg-2kg for culinary use, the medium and large, up to a size of 7kg, are grown very specifically to meet the needs of October 31st. The 7kg and over, make nice showpieces, and the giants offer the amateur gardener a challenge and we will leave them to it.<\/p>\n
