Judging by the other folks each year another month at least. Some folks down the plots have got them twice the size of mine 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 5,945 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 There's a few on the plant but this ones plenty bigger than a footy now so should be decent sized by halloween. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,035 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 As an aside. I've been making shit loads of chutney as per the norm. Using the courgettes, onions, cauliflower, green climbing beans, runner beans and green tomatoes. The results are flying out the door. Everyone here are complaining about stringy runner beans but I seem to have escaped. I must admit however to having an early low down crop, then nothing, then a great top crop. Jok.

gnipper 5,945 Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 I've neglected the plot a bit lately but when I went today there's a few decent sized pumpkins on the plant (which is taking over the plot) and plenty of smaller ones. I put in a snowman pumpkin plant too which is just flowers at the mo. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
