Pumpkins!

What’s big and orange and can weigh up to two thousand pounds? This week, it’s the season two finale of Time For Lunch and it is all about pumpkins! Hannah and Harry speak with a Ron Wallace, who specializes in growing pumpkins of record-breaking size, learn the recipe for a tasty autumn snack that helps cut down on food waste, and explore a new perspective on an iconic scary story.

Time For Lunch is going to be on a little autumn break for the first few weeks of November, but will be back just in time for Thanksgiving. Keep an eye on our feed for surprise bonus content during the break!
