So many pumpkins.

Squash & Pumpkin Festival, 2022 After a couple of years off due to covid, the Tolhurst Organic Farm Squash & Pumpkin Festival was back this year. 
We are in the old kitchen garden next to Hardwick Hall for the festival, but the farm covers several nearby fields.
Not just for Halloween, all these varieties are good to eat. Some better than others, but that's vegetables for you.
