my pumpkin plant is taking over my garden! i only grew it so the grandkids might have a pumpkin to carve for halloween! it's huge and has about 10 fruits on it. i know serious growers remove all but one so they can grow giant ones but i'll be happy with 4 small ones for the kids.
yesterday i planted out my spring bulbs in the flower garden, can't wait to see them. also got some great bargains in half price seed sale at local gc. bought some berry type fruit seeds that are supposed to taste...

ecstatic, i actually have a decent sized watermelon on my plant. this is my first time growing any kind of melon and i am well chuffed. just hope it continues with my new baby melons that are appearing. i must admit i went a bit daft when pollinating it, i must have put about 10 male flowers to the female one!
Beginners luck i think!!
