What’s Caused the Pumpkin Drought — And How We’ve Tackled It!

What’s Caused the Pumpkin Drought — And How We’ve Tackled It!

June 2025 • Sophie Boyes

Across the UK, many growers have faced:
 

  • Slower or patchy seed germination due to dry soils
  • Stunted plant growth from lack of early rainfall
  • Fewer fruits forming, or smaller pumpkins than usual
  • Some crops needing to be re-sown entirely


But here's the good news: we’ve been here before — and we know how to adapt.

Thanks to years of pumpkin-growing experience and a lot of careful planning, our farm team has worked hard behind the scenes to give our pumpkins the best chance possible.
