Rainy July and August have given British pumpkin farmers reason to celebrate

UK growers claim that pumpkins are larger than usual this year thanks to the wet summer. Oakley Farms, based near Wisbech in Cambridgeshire, is one of Europe's biggest suppliers of pumpkins, growing around five million each year. Steve Whitworth, commercial manager at Oakley Farms, said the wet weather in July and August was 'perfect' for growing pumpkins. The experts predict that the ideal growing conditions will mean a bumper crop of larger-than-normal vegetables.
