Atlantic Giant

Atlantic Giant pumpkinsfrom our plot

The competition pumpkin. Feed it, water it, talk to it, and it can grow to over 100kg. Not great for eating, but absolutely thrilling to grow if you want to win a village fete or just see the look on your neighbours' faces.

Pumpkin pie (if you insist)

Roast the flesh, puree, mix with eggs, cream, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, pour into a pastry case and bake until just set. The flavour won't match a Muscade, but the bragging rights are unmatched.
