Lots of large pumpkins taking over allotments  ;D

A Surrey couple say a giant pumpkin they have grown, estimated to weigh 390kg (860lbs), has taken over their allotment.

Justin Griffiths and Kay Walker from Ashtead have grown the winter squash on their plot at the Leatherhead Poors Allotments, in the shadow of the M25.

The pair plan to take it to the UK National Giant Vegetables Championship at the Malvern Autumn Show, but say they aren't yet sure how they will move it.

They estimate a second giant pumpkin on their plot weighs 250kg (560lbs), heavier than a baby elephant.
