Britain harvests millions of pumpkins for Halloween
Kevin Curson, a pumpkin grower from Cambridge Shire, shows off pumpkins in his farm on October 17, 2018. British supermarket Asda has worked with its growers to harvest more than 1.6 million pumpkins for Halloween, with the adoption of "lo-fi" growing methods employed to ensure the best-quality pumpkins available for the spooky season. Growing to an average weight of 4kg, Asda's pumpkins form part of the growing trend for Jack-O-Lanterns, with over 10 million pumpkins now grown across the UK each year. [Photo: IC]
