The trade reports this year say that pumpkins are smaller than normmal

Dont wory, it's not just you.

Well, we ended up with one pumpkin this year (an improvement over last
year), and it looks like a somewhat squashed marrow: it's even mostly
marrow-striped, with a small slightly orange patch on the underside.
