I was hunting for photo's to show Primrose some different lighting idea's for her photo thread, and found a couple of pumpkin photo's ...
This one was grown on a support, so it grew hanging down by it's stalk. It ended up being a monster, and made the most delicious pumpkin soup (the flesh is very sweet, I think this is what you call a squash? It's not tough or stringy, but smooth and hard to touch and cooks up to be very creamy to eat). Anyway, I didn't have a scale big enough to weigh it at the time ... it was well over 10 kilograms!
This is a photo of the same pumpkin next to one I could weigh (the little one in the photo was over 3.5 kilos, or about 8 pounds)
