Oh dear. In my infinite wisdom (not) I decided to clear up the courgette and pumpkin plants that looked past it and had nothing on them. So I fork one up, and start to pull it to one side. While doing this, I notice a green football sized jack o lantern making its way towards me from the other side of the patch :o
Other newbies beware!!
I'll try and ripen it at home. Hopefully it will be ok. On a more positive note, we had a fab pot of pumpkin soup at the weekend, delicious. :)

If it was a good size then that's a relief :) I stupidly planted one with me spuds and I had a right job sorting out which was which when pulling me spuds yesterday :)
Pumpkin soup is rather gorgeous isn't it? It looks lovely in dark blue bowls ;D
No, I don't normally colour match my food to my crockery ;)

Oh I did that today. Doesn't it make you just shout! Some of mine went on...and on....and on...and on.... These were long green squashes, trombolino I think, but they were still quite small so I bought them home and am planning to make soup with all the babies later in the week. So it isn't all bad!

I can understand how you could have done that C&B as mine have spread everywhere and are intertwined with my courgettes too. I think they would take over the whole plot if I let them. I do like their big smiley orange faces, one of my lottie neighbours says they really cheer her up when she looks over to my plot. :D busy_lizzie

Nice one BL!
-
i have one very small but perfectly formed pumpkin. all the other squashes are shades of green.
already have seeds for next year ready and will be much more colour mixed :)
-
Shock horror :o My lotty mate ate my Uckiki Kuri! I was saving that just for me :( Bah
-
Oh noooo! You'll have to plant more next year. Did he say if it was tasty? ;)
-
Thank goodness ! There one left on the lotty for me but it's a bit small yet :)
