In addition to the pumpkins, their garden boasts cucumbers, tomatoes, patty pans and chillies.
“Our pumpkins are still the biggest we have in the garden.
“They’re not as big as the previous years, but we have more of them, of different sizes and varieties.
“We don’t do anything special to our garden, just manure and watering it every day,” said Brayden, who works in the garden with his father, Hilton, and brother Shane.

The gains from their veggie garden have forced the family to be more creative in the kitchen.
“My wife, Chantelle, makes the most delicious pumpkin fritters,” said Hilton.
The family intends giving the pumpkins to disadvantaged people, neighbours, charitable organisations and whoever wants them.
