Pick Your Own used to mean picking tasty small morsels which occasionally young pickers could pop into their mouths when no-one was looking.

But you'd struggle to do that with PYO pumpkins.

Run by Charlie Eckley, Pumpkin Moon at Boarley Farm in Boxley, is a family day out where visitors can see what a working farm looks like and choose from 13 different varieties of pumpkins and squashes planted over 15 acres, in time for Halloween.

Around three quarters of the fruits will be the traditional orange variety, but you can also pick up something more exotic.

There is a dark green, almost black variety, the size of a cricket ball, a Munchkin which is small and pink and a Harlequin is green and white and almost heart-shaped.

Visitors get a wheelbarrow to load up their pumpkins, with prices up to £5.

Pumpkin Moon will donate 10% of profits to the Heart of Kent Hospice and the British Heart Foundation.

There is also a small maze made out of maize. Pumpkin Moon will open to the public on Saturday, October 15 and Sunday, October 16, from 10am.

It will then run from Thursday, October 20 to Sunday, October 30. For details visit pumpkinmoon.uk.
