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!
Autumn arrived quietly. Mum and dad harvested pumpkins before frost do damage.
We make compost from organic scraps. This year wild watermelon grew in our backyard! This one was the biggest.
The next watermelon is medium sized. I hope to compare them side by side when we harvest.
Each watermelon starts out as these tiny bulbs.
Below is watermelon foliage. I will be looking out for these next year!
We carried pumpkins like the hefty one below individually. They are now in storage.
Another crop begins while one finishes. These below are a row of kumara - winter comfort food. (For family gathering only!) The leaves make a mild vegetable dish.

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.
Beans

Above are beans from the backyard ready for harvest.
There is promise of another crop with more flowers.
Thank you bees' knees!

So Happy
I am stoked! Logged on to find my project provisional results. I passed. Did a little victory dance. This deserves some celebration. I will break open the vanilla with raspberry choc flake ice cream even though I'm supposed to be on a reduced dairy diet.
Below are sweetcorn harvest for this year.
