Pumpkins smaller due to weather
United Kingdom
Monday 10 October 2011
MD
The weather this year has meant exceptionally small pumpkins.
Halloween parties be warned, because of unusual weather this year's pumpkins will be smaller.
In 2011 the weather has not been conducive to the growth of normal pumpkins. The dry spring and summer slowed the proper development of plants and fruits.
Producers announce fruit much smaller than the usual size. Big pumpkins will be rare for this year’s Halloween.
