Pumpkins and wellies

You may remember a recent photo I posted when these fruits were growing. I thought they were squash plants which I had planted from some un-labelled seeds I found drying in the shed. No - they were pumpkins! I now have quite a crop which I'm not sure what to do with! Check out the original picture here. http://365project.org/busylady/selections/2013-08-15

Great shot , - and a lovely crop of Pumpkin --for pumpkin soups, --some nice recipe on the net !! and perhaps pumpkin pies !!

[Beryl Lloyd]

@beryl P.S. And of course a lantern or two for Halloween !!

[Rosie Kind]

Gosh these are lovely Judith - what a nice surprise to find them growing so well from a packet of seeds which you didn't know what they were. Lovely shot

[Judith Greenwood]

WOw look at the jumbo one! Will it keep till Halloween?

[Judith Johnson]

@judithg I hope so - I'm banking on it. They should keep in the shed out of the sun - and away from the mice!

[Issi Bannerman]

The pumpkins are well and truly out ... lovely shot!

[Janet]

What a whopper! The wellies give a good indication of size. Hope it keeps for halloween!

[Elin G. Reppe]

Wow, so great. Lovely shot!

[Alison Tomlin]

Fabulous! I want one! You really do seem to be a very successful vegetable grower.

[Judith Johnson]

@fueast Thanks, pumpkins are really easy to grow. Nothing seems to eat them at the growing stage and it's fascinating to watch them swell and then turn this fantastic orange.

Great looking pumpkins and a beautiful shot.

[carol white]

[bernadette mcelligott]

Cook them or will they hold over for Halloween??

[Judith Johnson]

@cookie123 Yes I.m hoping they will last for Halloween. I'm keeping them in the shed - the coolest place I've got.
