Well, the weather this year in my region of the UK has been terrible. Even with the polytunnel up there simply hasn't been enough sun.

First casualty was around day 30 on Project 2b (1626 D. Gantner). Growth never quite got over 5 lbs per day, a dark patch was forming to the side of the blossum and the skin was producing those tell tales signs of a pumpkin aborting.

It was cut open and I could observe the darkened flesh, so definately the correct decision.
