    Job opportunity for pumpkin grower!

    £1250 paid for a single Giant pumpkin seed!

    The company is now looking for a grower who can nurture the seed on its behalf.
    Mr Hansord said: "Our spend on the Swiss seed may seem a high price to pay, but it will boost the genetics of UK plants moving forward and give us the best chance of seeing the world title brought to the UK for the first time.
    "We're looking for someone with the passion, dedication and time to produce a giant specimen."
    The firm said the world record holder needed feeding with 150 gallons (680 litres) of fertilized water each day at its peak.

      How cool would that be!
      I don't think I will volunteer my services. As this is going to be my first year at trying to grow a giant. I will be very happy if I get it over the 15kg mark as I've only ever grown small sugar before at around 6 /7 kg .

        I'd be happy growing a pumpkin, any pumpkin let alone a mahoosive one.

                  Wouldnt want the responsability.

                  And when your back stops aching,
                  And your hands begin to harden.
                  You will find yourself a partner,
                  In the glory of the garden.

                    Where's AP ?

                    If he doesn't take it on then his credentials need questioned.
