UK Pumpkin Shortage!

Oh no! Our bad summer weather has apparently hit the pumpkin harvest this year! The BBC reports that, "Britain's leading pumpkin farmer says wet weather in June and July means that his crop is down by 30% and his pumpkins lack their traditional colour.

"It's a disaster. Everybody knows that pumpkins are orange," said David Bowman, whose Lincolnshire farm normally produces two million a year.

"Mr Bowman said prices will rise and shops could sell out early."

We've already been discussing what we might carve on the pumpkin this year.
