Nicola and I were very honoured to visit Ian & Stuart Paton this morning with Oliver and Eleanor. We went to check out their giant pumpkin glasshouse near Lymington and get some growing tips.

Here are the kids with Ian, they're hugging a real beauty that's already taping 2000+lb.

I doubt we'll ever be able to produce anything quite like this, I'm happy to just keep learning and to try and grow a bigger pumpkin year on year.

Big thanks to Ian and Stuart for taking the time to show us round and give us some friendly advice. Oliver was thrilled to meet his heroes, and they even gave us some seeds and a few plants from their nursery :)
