Haloween


The crop of the day is the 'giant' pumpkin. I am thinking of writing to Thompson and Morgan as this was the biggest we got - we planted it in manure, watered it daily, gave it a dose of comfrey tea every sunday and still it would not get any bigger. It is too big for me to carry so maybe it is just as well. There are three others that are going to be made into pies but hopefully we can preserve the skin for carving.

I also harvested the rest of the beetroot, a load of peppers, a marrow, two courgettes and a couple of aubergines.
