Back in October, I made a note here about a lovely evening spent gardening with my children.

I noted that I had planted "4 seeds of Thelma Sanders Squash".  I think I was wrong and in the madness that is associated with gardening with an over eager 4 year old and her older sister, I may have planted the Lady Godiva pumpkin instead and its taken over my life.  Who woud have thought that 4 little seeds could have such an impact on my life?

Here are the before and after shots;

                 

And here are the pumpkin/squash I am talking about;

  and and
The Squash and                                  the pumpkin                                   my fruit

the squash was supposed to be good eating, and the pumpkin good only for the seeds.

should I wait until the pumpkin dies off?  or just rip it out and plant more stuff now that I've got a day with no particular plans?[1]

I've harvested the biggest one, saved the seeds and the flesh is in the oven roasting.  Perhap there will be blue cheese and pumpkin risotto for dinner today.


[1] actually I have plenty of plans but they rely on other people, so I'll find other stuff to keep my mind off it.
