Down on the Allotment

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

Giant pumpkin update

 After several weeks of unseasonal cold weather my giant pumpkin is gradually coming to life.  I’ve added a foliar feed of some diluted Epsom salts to add magnesium as the leaves were yellowing a bit. Looks good now. I even have a little female flower! 

Fingers crossed.
