Three Pumpkins

My first attempt at pumpkins has produced these three beauties


During the week I removed the decaying / mouldy leaves and unpollinated fruit, and was left with one pumpkin on each plant.

Having read up on these things, you are supposed to raise them off the ground away from slugs etc., so this is what I have done.

They are jack o'lanterns which are supposed to produce huge, round, orange fruit ideal for halloween carving... one of them is a bit elongated but I'll just watch and see how they develop.
