A lot of people ask if I'm disappointed about the loss back in August but to be honest I'm not too bothered because it was always in the back of my mind since the flower first opened. Also I know that I can grow a 1000lb pumpkin now, I just have to get it past the finish line, so I'm very much looking forward to next year. I've learned a lot too, so I have a long list of improvements and I've already started preparing the patch.
Here's a pic of Oliver at the Southampton show where his first solo effort got him 262lb and he's very happy with that. We had a great day out, and he told me he'd like to give a big 'Congratulations!' to Stuart and Ian and also to Matthew Oliver for his record-breaking squash. I second that and we'll see you all next year!
