Six different sizes of pumpkin will go on sale at Tesco from October 2.
Pumpkins will be larger than usual this year after the rainy summer provided perfect growing conditions for the squash, farmers have said.
Steve Whitworth, commercial manager at Oakley Farms, said the wet weather in July and August was “perfect” for growing pumpkins.“We had a pretty good growing season for pumpkins this summer with a really hot June, which really helped the plants along,” he said. “The weather gave us the right amount of rain with sunny intervals especially compared with the challenging conditions we encountered during last year’s heatwave, which was officially the hottest UK year on record.”Tesco will be selling six variants of pumpkin, many from Oakley Farms, from October 2
“This year we have six different sizes and based on last year’s performance, we expect the carving variety to continue be the most popular.
