Achievement: I have grown my biggest pumpkin / squash to date!
Squash (ironic name) size is:
-the diameter from your hand to elbow! (approx!)
It's somehow flattened a bit if you were to look from above (heavy from gravity I assume) and was starting to grow even in between the pallet it sits on (it's my anti-slug device)... but I put extra wood in between to stop that (can see in picture) so still large overall (which squash is but really impressive in real life when almost x2 bowling balls !!
Probably 'normal' for a squash (the more correct name) while still growing vertically I think- 'm scare to even get near it to measure it's progress!

@freeschool Great! What kind/variety is it.. the pallet is a good idea.
@ChaplainEric All began from these the Hokkaido seeds...
I think I might have put too many in one place (but I didn't have the soil area anyway, and I only found out what would potentially grow after which I think was... err almost all of them many years in a jar !)
Will add pic of Hokkaido soon...
I'll call it the Hokkaido hadoukens!
