Zucchini for dinner
Zucchini for dinner tonight. This is the first one from the garden ever and it tasted great. Very moist, very firm. There are also 4 decent sized pumpkin, just waiting for them the mature before picking and drying.

Pumpkin already! Can you remember when you planted it (or when it started sprouting from the compost?). Ours is an impressive vine, but has only just flowered. I think it sprouted about 2 months ago...
Also, our tomatoes are all over the place! Is a full time job just keeping up with the vines needing staking.. lots of tomatoes, but still small and green going yellow. This cold snap has me worried... to much of this and we may not see them to red..
Yes Leigh I too am astonished Andrew is almost ready to harvest pumpkins. How did you manage that Andrew? I planted my seeds in about September (probably way too early) and they are only about the size of golf balls now. Admittedly they were almost completely shredded by giant hail stones when they were only at the two leaf stage back in October. Have been eating my tomatoes though - grown inside a glasshouse. Are yours outdoors? Not many people manage that in Dunedin.
Sorry it took a few days to reply - my DLS model blew up and I had to get another one!
I've posted a pic of one of the pumpkins. As I'm a complete amature I have no idea why my pumpkins are doing well. There were (are) several golf-ball sized ones but many turned yellow then brown then rotted (and other survive still)! My instinct is that the ones that survive get pollenated and the ones that rot do not.
