As it's getting colder now should my Mum be putting some fleece over her pumpkins or is it time to cut them and bring them home from the lottie.

We're going to check on them tomorrow so I'll try to remember my camera for some pics!
Snappy 

No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch.

I could give up chocolate but I'm not a quitter.

The pumpkin itself will be ok until the first frost, after that the plant will die and you can take it home.
Punk isn't dead...it's underground where it belongs. If it comes to the surface it's no longer punk...it's Green Day!

Just got back from Mums plot... we brought the pumpkins home as the stems had started to rot anyway and it is very wet up there!

They are at present on the garage floor on a blanket.

Will they be ok like this till halloween or will they need to be lifted off the floor?

I'll post some pics later when I get them off my phone!
