No where near as good as the last pic but here are my 2 (of my 3) girls

The little one and another slightly bigger (with a teeny pumpkin showing!) will be planted at the allotment tomorrow.. hoping to get a few for halloween with that one!

The larger is a big max.. im not going to have room for it at the allotment for another couple of weeks at least  :blink: Not sure how im going to get it there as it should be a bit bigger by then! May see if i can borrow the neighbours van for half an hour!



EDIT *** In case your wondering thats a small yellow plastic ball in the pic and not a pumpkin!! I wish! No fruit showing on there yet but cant even see the flowers due to the leaves!! ***

look good and healthy ,try to wrap them in cling film just to support them for the move and compress them a little

Thankyou I will try that!

Wondering now if i should take the big one there while i can still (probably) get it in the car.. I like having it here though so I can keep an eye on it lol

By the way, I'm only pulling Philskin's leg as his pumpkin is bigger than mine.   But, it is well to remember the story of the hare and the tortoise.

Ok.  How about next weekend?  I'm at a bit of a loose end.

Hey all! One of mine has a fruit on it the size of a small hand but is touching the soil; is it best to put something underneath it- worried about pests and it rotting if the soil is wet?

 Beats me hands down prize is all yours ice a years supply of Guiness

[Paul Plots]

Who said anything about a year's supply of Guinness 

Now if I'd read about that a while back I would be entered, competing and keeping secrets (where it's planted, what it's fed on, how fast it's growing....) and aiming to win!


A year's supply of my fourth favouritest drink (after coffee, strong tea and single malt).

That's nearly 8 pints of Guinness by my reckoning!!  :blink:

  I did mention that guiness is my dog didnt i

Cheers Sutty1; have popped planks under the fruiting bits today, they are looking good altho one small fruit has come off one plant and had gone a little brown; when i touched it it fell straight off; not sure what happened to it, but are plenty more
