Farmer says this year's crop has been impacted by hot summer and wet autumn
A Manx farmer who grows pumpkins for Hop-tu-Naa admits this year's weather conditions have made producing the crop a struggle.
Zoe and Philip Hampton have run Bigfoot's Pumpkin Field at Ballawhetstone in Ballabeg since diversifying the farm during Covid.
Philip admits growing pumpkins in the Manx climate does require a lot of luck.
He says this summer's dry spell followed by a wet autumn has impacted numbers:
