Cant wait to see Mambury!

If i grew a pumpkin it would take up my entire vegetable patch...would be cool to grow a giant one :-) Have you got a garden now evenstar-you should grow one just because you can!

My hair went turquoise once mambury,it was when I had DD1 and we were living on a farm in Galloway
I had bottle blonde hair and the untreated water had copper in it,so my hair went turquiose
The nurses at the hostpital thought I had dyed it that colour

Hi Even - fine thanks, you are sounding a little better today -

Wooho for the flowers Mabel - just need to bees for pollination now

ooo- can I have mine with one sugar please Mambury! You have been much more clever than me as far as your website is concern - well done!!!

That was why dad said no, we had hens in half the allotment and a greenhouse for tomatoes etc,so we were limited with space for veg

I have a big garden now, but OH is planning to turf most for kids, there is a lot of nice big shrubs round the borders which will stay, apart from the idiot cut down the honeysuckle thinking it was weed, I was proper gutted like, he thinks he knows everything, stupid man:mad:
There is a big apple tree at the back, so I will see what they are like, and a big beautiful laburnham...worried about that as seeds are poisonous,will have to watch Gd

Morning all.
Congratulations lilac pixie.
Mabel well done on the peas. I have one or two flowers on my mange-tout but none on the others yet. I planted another container of mangetout a couple of weeks ago and all the shoots were through but all I have left now are a few leaves laid on the surface. I am not sure whether its mice or wood pigeons.
Oh we had some salad leaves for tea last night. First thing we have eaten this year apart from mint

evenstarcrafty

when do you plant seeds for pumpkins
Are they growing them for halloween,some fruit farms have pumpkin patches, so you can pick your own for halloween, great photo op as well

my friends dad grew giant pumpkins for show, some are bigger than a small boy, they took 6 men to carry one pumpkin out for the show

Ho Rosie-yep thats all i've had so far salad leaves...cant wait for everything else to be ready..might need a bigger freezer :-/
Hope you sort out the mice/pigeons what a shame :-(
