The Gardening Club at Putney Public School under the direction of Meredith Kirton entered the Yates Junior Landcare Pumpkin Challenge. Seeds were sown in November and in February the pumpkin was weighed and measured for entry in the competition. Whilst not the winners, which was a 175 kg whopper from Queensland, the kids were wrapped in the experience and proud “parents” of their enormous pumpkin.
