Well I'm not laughing, Lorna, I think you've done really well for a first attempt. ;D I've never grown squash/pumpkins myself but I'm sure the conditions this year couldn't have helped.

they look gorgeous lorna, you going to let grandchildren at 'em for All Hallows?

Hey Lorna, diden`t ;D you do well.

Well I did find it fun. SS they didn't take up much space as I made a frame and grew them up the frame. Neighbour couldn't believe that the big one didn't come crashing down :)
Joshua was impressed.

they look fine to me! i've only managed to get one off each plant....so i got 2 of them. mine still aren't ripe....but i cut them off a few weeks ago when they just started to turn. i was worried about the frost and the powdery mildew that had taken over the plant.

they're nice and tough and clean looking and turning orange pretty quickly now.

You got more pumpkins than I did. I'm blaming the drought.

lorna · « **Reply #11 on:** October 08, 2006, 17:14:53 »

Oh well as it was my first year doesn't look so disastrous ;D ;D

robkb · « **Reply #12 on:** October 09, 2006, 10:28:39 »

I'm not laughing - you got 5 more than I did! :( All my plants died, and I'm not sure why... must try harder next year.

Cheers,
Rob ;)

bennettsleg · « **Reply #13 on:** October 09, 2006, 11:17:14 »

You did well, Lorna!

I got one off each plant I didn't manage to kill (5 in total) my butternuts all failed and everything went in late after being started off too early.

Good growing on your part, you should feel proud! :)

lorna · « **Reply #14 on:** October 09, 2006, 14:59:10 »

;D After all the nice comments I am feeling quite chuffed!!!!

Hyacinth · « **Reply #15 on:** October 09, 2006, 15:34:34 »

Snap!!

Not one pumpkin here, although some of the other stuff grew well.

Well done Lorna. I'm sure the grandchildren will love them.
