I'm all ready getting nervous about the prospect of having only tiny, soggy pumpkins to choose from this year due to another crap summer. I'm not sure about England but I just don't think we've had enough sun in Scotland for kins this year, and far too much rain. I'm already loosin sleep over it. Somebody tell me to get a grip!

Here in Illinois we have'nt had one drop of rain all Summer. But yesterday we had a HUGE storm. Not enough to bring the dead crops back to life though. So I'm a little uneasy about our pumpkins this year too. Hopefully we will have some good sized pumpkins!

I'm hoping we'll be ok MM. But I share your concerns... We might be ok and get a few small 'kins but I think this year might be a bit of a poor showing, even for us :(

But I suppose that means we'll just need to get extra creative and find things to put patterns on ;)

That thought crossed my mind too, but i'm keeping hope. Ive only got a small budget this year, which is mainly being spent on pumpkins, so i really hope they aren't a let down. :D

Its never a good thing to rely on the weather, it always lets us down. Sadly, us Brits don't have the option of foamies. I'll keep all my fingers crossed for a sunny September/October, I suppose there is still growing time. We might have to resort to some kind of WickerMan-esque human sacrifice to please the pumpkin gods for next year. :twisted:
