Pumpkins by the Greenhouse Back after a couple of years off due to covid, the Tolhurst Organic Farm Squash &amp; Pumpkin Festival was back this year.
So many pumpkins.
This lot is by one of the old greenhouses which were once part of the Hardwick Hall kitchen garden.
The OS map still marks it with the crosshatch Greenhouse symbol.

Squash & Pumpkin Festival, 2022 After a couple of years off due to covid, the Tolhurst Organic Farm Squash &amp; 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&#039;s vegetables for you.
