Nice! I’d really like to try and grow a stupidly huge pumpkin some time. Kids would love it.
The rules here seem to be, whoever wins the previous year’s competition chooses the veg and administrates the following year’s. I’d probably have avoided getting involved but allotment neighbour Doug won last year’s. He was really kind to us when we first got the plot, gave us a load of his produce and was generally very welcoming, so I felt duty bound to participate.

I used to take part with my dad and grandad when I was a kid. My grandad eventually became the president of the local RHS and a national judge. We always did the heaviest pumpkin competition. Not taken part as an adult.
