Well, bit of a set back, only one out of first 3 plants survived the winds.

More growing on though! :D

Just been to lottie and one of the buds has a pumpkin behind it. So excited
All the way from my allotment in beautiful Derbyshire. I'm in year 3 of my allotment and wish I'd caught the bug years ago, things growing from strength to strength

Some fat slugs finished my pumpkin plants off when they had 4 leaves, all that was left was the stem  >:(

Therefore I withdraw my entry this year.

Nash, You should remove some of your weed suppressant matting (it's slug paradise under there) and do a bit of hoeing instead.

The flower was opening when I came down this morning. Need to find a suitable male flower to poke in there!
