Your horse pumpkin antics are in two articles this week @daniel_brown_horseman and even @matthewoliver87 gets a mention in today's BBC article. It should say £1000 from Tulleys Farm because they doubled their donation but we'll forgive the journos 😂

Really chuffed to have raised £1000 for my hospital's cancer fund with the delivery of Abdul the pumpkin (so named after my haematology consultant) to the generous folks at @tulleyspumpkins - especially during chemotherapy treatment myself AND lymphoma awareness month.

The guys at @kendallcars_ have also been amazing with the charity giant pumpkin project, gifting me their wonderful 4x4 pickup for the weekend in order to get the big pumpkin down to @tulleysfarm. Couldn't have done it without them OR @daniel_brown_horseman and Hugh Broom the Dorking farmer.

Abdul the giant pumpkin has reached his forever home at @tulleyspumpkins - now his day job begins entertaining the masses through October and Halloween. Huge thanks to @tulleysfarm for their £500 charity donation to East Surrey hospital cancer fund.

It's been nice to grow a giant pumpkin despite being on chemotherapy treatment, and find a way to give back. Lymphoma is the most common form of blood cancer and September is #lymphomaawarenessmonth

Proud of MrsGrow for her Autumn Wreath 1st (and best in section), 1st in the photography, 1st in the printed wrapping paper and 2nd in the water colour. All in all, a trophy for handicraft points too.

Subbed the beans for 5 cherry tomatoes in the end, didn't have much choice. Not much left growing that isn't burned to a crisp. 3rd place. I'll take that.
