Pumpkin Pie

Mum made pumpkin pie with bunny decorations. The filling was a bit soft because the mashed pumpkins were from a soup. Yet another way to use up our pumpkins!

Pumpkin Growth Spurt

Summer heralds vegetable growth. The pumpkin has taken over the patch! The flowers have closed up into early pumpkins. They are in the middle protected from the elements by huge leaves.

This blurry shot shows how the tomatoes are surrounded by pumpkins. Corns are also making an appearance.

I am looking forward to the fruit and vegetable harvesst in 2010. Happy New Year to all readers. Thank you for visiting my blog!

Pumpkin Summer of 2009 - 2010

The middle seedlings grow into pale green pumpkins (Cucurbita pepo or C. mixta) with orange insides.

This is a few weeks later. By the way, the plant to the left are tomatoes and the compost is behind the corrugated iron board.
