S1 Ep 5: The Terrifying Truth about Halloween Pumpkins

S1 Ep 5: The Terrifying Truth about Halloween Pumpkins

Home Grown is getting ghoulish. Martha Swales and Jamie Walton are rolling up their sleeves for a Halloween special packed with creepy curiosities, squash shaped secrets and plenty of pumpkin mischief. Jamie reveals why the scariest thing about Halloween pumpkins is the mountain of them wasted every year, and why spooky squash deserve the spotlight instead. They share the need-to-know differences between pumpkins and squash, when to grow them, top varieties that taste incredible and clever ways to save space while still growing a monster harvest.


Martha digs into the eerie origins of Halloween, from ancient Celtic bonfires and roaming spirits to Irish traditions that eventually brought pumpkin carving to the world. Jamie throws in fang-tastic food tips so you can eat, store and reuse every last bit of your harvest.


There is a frightfully fun quiz, pumpkin festival facts (including a palace with its own Rapunzel tower and 450,000 pumpkins) and seasonal recipes to help you banish food waste. Expect folklore, flavour and a wickedly good time in the garden.


We love hearing your questions - do get in touch:
