I planted a pumpkin seed in a pot in June. I watered it lots of times because it needed lots of water.It grew into a seedling, which I planted in the big bed. It got lots of Sun. We had a good summer this year. I cut it from the stem today. There are still  more flowers, so I might get more.

today on 5/8/2014

We looked at the weather report and talked about it-hot, but not hot enough to deter us-we're a tough bunch. We than walked to the to the allotment and took Happus (the dog) with us. At the allotment I weeded the Pumpkins, onions and beetroot and then watered them all. The ground was pretty dried out as you can imagine-this recent hot weather is obviously a problem.
