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

 All was going well until last week when my pumpkin started to shrink. It didn’t look viable and had started to abort.  Good job that I had also pollinated a second ‘just in case’ pumpkin.  So I cut this one off.

So here is the new one.  Hand pollinated with a male flower and doing well.   Now for some sunshine.
