A man turned the biggest pumpkin grown in Australia this year into a canoe, and paddled it down the country's Tumut River.
Adam Farquharson's friend, Mark Peacock, won a blue ribbon for his mammoth pumpkin and Farquharson decided that wouldn't be the end of the giant gourd's career.
Farquharson, hollowed out the 407-kilogram pumpkin — named Tormund after the "Game of Thrones" character — and took it to the water as 1,000 spectators watched
First harvest of baby bear pumpkins. They are small! They are orange! They are cute!
11 pumpkins. Some white powdery mildew getting on the stems so I gave them a diluted bleach treatment. Should have picked them a bit sooner.
Plants did a second run of fruit, about 5 of them, which are only starting to turn orange. Hopefully they will finish ripening before the plants die back.
This watercolor painting was inspired by an October visit to the pumpkin patch. The pumpkin patch had goats and pumpkins in several varieties and colors!
I was determined that my stomach issue wasn't going to stop me from submitting my crappy pumpkin creations (top left photo) to our town's annual pumpkin #parade this evening, though mostly because I didn't want to deal with their disposal. All these #pumpkins were to be transported to a boars farm just outside town after the parade to be used as feed.
Anyway, my pumpkin carvings were definitely not the best in town, but I'm happy to report, they weren't the worst either. 👍
i'm carving my jack o' lantern very very late this year. as i'm rushing along on my simple (googled) pattern, i am reminded (like every year) that i'm so grateful that gourds are a very forgiving medium. once the candle is in there, they always look great. #Halloween#Pumpkins 🎃
Well the #pumpkins are all set for #Halloween2023
Here’s hoping we get more than 3 kids this year!
(Our record so far is I think (edited: it’s 40, set in 2018) - it’s few enough that we can COUNT them 😂)
