Horitcultural Society Talk, Car Troubles and a Cinderella Carriage

A busy week with car troubles, talking at the Waikato Horticultural Society night and the Cinderella Pumpkin.

This year I was lucky enough to go and check out the pumpkin in Little River, a small place south of Christchurch.

I’m looking forward to taking part in the 150 Square Feet Invitational Tournament, find out the stuff I need to sort out, and what I am going to do.

Te Kowhai School recently had their 2016 Harvest Festival. I went along and judged and took some photos.

The 2016 Great Pumpkin Carnival was held once again, and once again the NZ record has been beaten. Check out how it all went.

Tatuanui School had their first ever harvest festival and I went along to check it out.

My 2016 season wasn’t the best, but I am getting back in the swing of things, and will be going to a few pumpkin events soon.

Welcome to the new year, find out how things are going here.

I have transplanted my giant pumpkin seedling for 2016 out into the little patch and have provided it some shelter.

It’s germination time for the 2016 season, I have got off to a good start. Check out what seeds I have started and how they look so far.

I talk about how to track your giant pumpkin growing season and why you would want to do that.

I have started preparing the small pumpkin patch area with help from Revital Fertiliser products. Check out the video and see who helped me out.

We finally have a process in place to get giant pumpkin seeds into the country. Find out how in this post if you mised the Facebook post and Email.

The 2016 Giant Pumpkin growing season is almost here. I moved house and only have a very small area to grow in, I show you what I have to work with.

I went and checked out the 2015 Fieldays, and found a rather good looking giant pumpkin.
