Watering in the freshly sown seed

On Monday, our New Product Development Manager, Michael Perry helped to sow Thompson & Morgan’s €200.00 giant pumpkin seed.

This seed comes from a new world record pumpkin, which was weighed in last autumn (2012) at 2009lbs. The pumpkin was a hybrid raised by Ron Wallace of Greene, Rhode Island and was weighed in at the Topsfield Fair in the USA.

For more information on the seed and how Thompson & Morgan acquired it, see our earlier world record breaking pumpkin seed post.

With the help of a range of experts, Thompson & Morgan hope to challenge the UK record, which stands at 1504lbs.
