Veg out

Thanks to Trevor Wilson for getting in touch to tell me about the Mere Brow Giant Pumpkin competition.

It's run by a group of farmers and growers who nurture these giants for a hobby - they can range from 100lb to nearly 1000lb in weight.

This year the competition will be held at Gravel Farm, Banks, near Preston on Saturday October 17 at 2pm. It'll raise money for the North West Air Ambulance. More details here.
