I like to have pumpkin seeds in muesli etc so thought I'd try kakai pumpkins for seed.

The result is that from the one plant I had there were three pumpkins and the total seeds they've yielded amount to 5oz or 140g. Not a huge haul and I'm not sure that I'd go out of my way to repeat the experiment except that I might as well use the remaining seeds in the packet. They were very little trouble and might last about a month for breakfast.

I usually keep my plots in very good order, but this season things were often neglected due to health problems.  I'm a lot better if not yet 100%. I won't bore you with details.

But my strawberry bed, while weed free has a huge amount of dead and dieing leaves and foliage swamping the green growth. I would normally clean up after fruiting was over. Is it too late now? Last night was the first really sharp frost. 

I am reasonably knowledgeable on some topics, but this is a blind spot.  I don't want to weaken the plants unduly. Would a good clean up in early spring be better. 

Over to you strawberry experts!
