Hi all,
Just been out into the garden- it has actually stopped raining .....I have found that my pumpkin plant leaves are all yellowy and mildew covered to the extent that they are breaking down. I presume that this has implications for the fruit- was growing them for the kids for Halloween.
The courgettes look similar  
I guess what I want to know is - is it curtains for the pumpkins for this year now or can I leave them to ripen etc? Any suggestions for next year to stop it happening again?
Btw, when I started this gardening lark I never realised how emotionally involved I would become. The highs and lows are something I never expected. Love it though and I am planning for better things next year.

not a problem if the pumkins are big enough now just take off the plant put them somewhere dry with light and will ripen just intime for oct 31
