Planting the pumpkin plants. Several rows can be planted at once, and up to three workers are on the machine at any one time.

Plants must be loaded onto the planter for one row of the field at a time, and since the fields are often quite large, trays find themselves stacked wherever possible.

Plants are kept in polythene tunnels until they are ready for planting out in the field. The heat speeds up germination, but the plants must be watered regularly.

Depending on the variety of pumpkin plant, large spaces must be left between rows to allow the plants to spread out. In a matter of weeks, these spaces will have been filled in.

Ready for carving in less than four months!
