The pumpkins are loving this sunshine and some of them are starting to turn orange!

If you planted your pumpkin here in April at the pumpkin planting sessions please check your email for details of how to book to collect it in October :-). There are some big ones (and some tiny ones) growing in the patch!!

Deeside Local Food Festival

I'm giving a talk at the Deeside Local Food Festival on 15th September along with some other fab local producers. Hope to see you there! It's free but you need to book - details below :-)

This one could grow into a real giant. I'm seeing a difference in it every day!

Our open dates for 2019 will be announced soon :-)

Udny Provender and Udny Pumpkins event tickets from TicketSource

We still have tickets available for some of the Meet the Bees sessions with Udny Provender at the pumpkin patch this Sunday. You'll get to put on a bee suit and look inside a hive under the expert guidance of Dr Ewan Campbell from Aberdeen University. It's an incredible experience! Tickets are £5. https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/udny-pumpkins

The pumpkin patch has become a sea of green leaves, with lots of lovely pumpkins lurking underneath!

We're growing about 10 varieties of pumpkins and squash this year. Most are tried and tested but this beautiful harlequin squash is new to us. It looks like it will be stunning, and very prolific. I spotted 6 fruit on just one plant!

Every flower I looked at in the patch yesterday had a bee inside covering itself in pollen! They're doing a great job. Come and see for yourself! Half the tickets for the Meet the Bees event with Udny Provender on Sunday 18th August have now sold. Snap one up before they all go :-) www.ticketsource.co.uk/udny-pumpkins
