Matron grows vegetables and fruit in a Hampshire garden. I've been growing veggies since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Some traditional varieties and old favourites as well as new ideas. I share my garden with my allotment assistant Daisy the Labrador. On Twitter as @MatronsVeggies
Following the amazing response to Matron's dogblog - I have been inspired in the past few weeks at the wonderful photos of all your pumpkins and squashes out there. Thus inspired, I will be posting a Squashblog to celebrate all your weird and wonderful produce. I will be posting my blog on 30th October. Please send your best photo on an attachment to Ahhmatron@aol.com and I will post them all with a link to your blog.

I was born 20 yards from our allotment. My parents used to 'dig for victory' and never got out of the habit. I grew up on an allotment, so growing veggies is a way of life. I am also qualified as a dog behaviourist and I have set up my own business, www.blackdogdna.com

By the 30th I will probably have picked my itsy bitsy pumpkin and I'll look forward to sending you a picture. Maybe I'll make a jack-o-lantern with a tiny little candle.
Hi Matron

Great idea by the way

Hi Matron
Harvested our squash the other day - so got them to pose for a photo at the weekend - I'll send it over to you.

Thank you folks! keep them coming in.
Can I stretch a point and include very late fruiting and very oddly shaped courgette? (Perhaps in an interlopes category : ) )
Threadspider, please be my guest - odd shapes will be most welcome!
