  • Surprise Pumpkin

    I was at the allotment yesterday and was looking at my pumpkin plants with disappointment that none of them had produced anything worthwhile.

    Whilst I was tidying up my runner beans I moved some foliage only to find a pumpkin the size of a football suspended 5 foot up in the air by the runner bean vines

    This was about 2 metres away from the base of the plant

    Some of mine have also wandered & taken over the runners / pea support

          They're like the ghengis khan of the veg world, rampaging across the veg plot, pillaging space, light & nutrients wherever they go
