The pumpkin plants were about 10 centimetres when my teacher brought them to school. We kept them in the class for a few weeks. In May I measured out an area of 1 m²for each pumpkin. I dug a hole and filled it with farmyard manure. I covered it and made a mound with a moat around it. I planted a tiny pumpkin at the top of each mound. We put a mini-greenhouse around it to protect it from strong winds. There were a few yellow flowers on the plant when we got our summer holidays.
During the summer enormous green leaves grew on the plants and hidden in the middle were two very large pumpkins. We measured the stem and found that one of the pumpkin plants had grown over 3 metres. It grew and grew like a giant beanstalk and covered our herbs and strawberries. We will let our pumpkin grow for several more weeks.
We let our pumpkin grow until Novenber. Then we harvested then and brought them inside. We weighed then and found that the heavier one weighed 10 kilogrammes.We hope to cook them later in the term
