New Delhi: What if not only humans but also pumpkins pray for the cool drops of rain in the scorching heat? Yes, even if it sounds a bit strange to say. But that is the condition of UK. The summer rain there may or may not have benefited anyone. But the way pumpkins have flourished has surprised everyone.
It is being told that we will see the direct effect of this rain on the festival of Halloween. Pumpkins are the main attraction of this festival, so this time whatever pumpkins we see in the Halloween festival will be much bigger than the pumpkins seen in the past. It is expected that due to these huge pumpkins, this time people will have double the fun in the festival of Halloween.
Expressing happiness over the pumpkin crop, a local farmer said July and August were the best weather for growing pumpkins. He also said that June was very hot this time due to which the growth of pumpkin plants was affected and we got a good crop.
The framer added that even though sun lovers and barbecue fans may not have liked the rain in July and August, there was nothing better than this rain for pumpkin growth.
Meanwhile, a Tesco pumpkin buyer is no less excited to see the grown pumpkins. She said the weather gave us the right amount of rain with intervals of sunshine so the pumpkins will be larger than normal this year. The supermarket hopes that this time the carved pumpkin will be most popular among the people.
It is noteworthy that in the last few years, interest in eating squash has increased among people in the UK and surrounding areas. It is being told that on Tesco’s food website alone, there has been a tenfold increase in the number of people searching for pumpkin dishes. On this, Moss said that this is good news from the point of view of food wastage, no food item should be wasted.
Keep in mind that UK is one of those countries in the world where every year a lot of pumpkins are wasted during festivals like Halloween. In such a situation, now that people are liking to eat its dishes, there is a smile on the faces of those farmers who used to cultivate pumpkin.
