Happy New Year bloggers!The seed catalogues have started dropping on to the front door mat already! Matron has been thumbing through the pages and making plans for the New Year. My favourite company Thompson and Morgan have a really extensive vegetable seed range, and I just couldn't resist a very, very special opportunity. In 2010 the Paton twins from Hampshire grew an enormous pumpkin of 1504 pounds and broke the British record! Well, seeds are available (at some expense!) and Matron has decided to grow a giant pumpkin this year. I'm going to start piling up the horse manure in an attempt to beat my pathetic effort with this Dill's Atlantic Giant a few years ago. Here goes!
