Fresh Pumpkin Smells

The two little (of the four) garden pumpkins

Wow! Never before has the kitchen smelled so good. Cut into a fresh pumpkin from the garden and the smell is fantastic. These two (and one other) were harvested and left for a few days to dry. We had the larger one between 4 adults and one child and it did more than one meal. The colour, the small and the taste were unbelievable. Vegies from the garden taste great, but this one topped the lot.

Pumpkins

Here's one of the four pumpkins stull growing. As this is the first pumpkin it remains a mystery as to when to harvest them.

This is what is mean by pumpkin

Just to clarify, this is what is mean by pumpkin. Although this is the largest, there are a total of 4 of comprable size. Not sure when to harvest them so until there are signs that its time they get to stay where they are.

Purple brocolli. As suspected, if planted too early they flower before the plants get big and produce little heads. This one survived the rabbit (how has not been seen for a few weeks)

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.
