Plenty Of Fruit And Veggies In This Garden..

Things are starting to ripen up and die down..

Passionfruit Panama Red



Lady Finger Bananas A slight touch of Yellow or is it the sunshine.



Beeksteak Tommys.





Kent Pumpkin,

You are such a tease MA lots of yummos other and great pics TOO

Well done Wish my nanas would hurry up, plenty of passionfruit though

They are as green as Gail the bunch on the other one is even worse.
It has not been what you would call a warm Summer has it just very humid
Its good that you have plenty of passionfruit, they freeze well too..

Wish i could grow bananas, i would love a look inside that Kent pumpkin when you harvest M A please

Shame they are taking forever to ripen though.

No problem Richard I am in no hurry though.

the kents are the best, richard.
too bad mary-anne is sick of them.

Cant buy kents seeds here,can someone spare two or there seeds for me.

I grow Green Chestnut a very nice, strong tasting,dry, with a dark orange flesh,down side to to this variety is half the pumpkins i think dont have there flowers fertilized properly as they end up with a darker skin, hollow seeds and taste less,the chocks end up eating these.I've grown these for ten years now but i think i would like to try some thing else,

If you girls say they good they must be good

I haven't got any kent seeds left at the moment... no home grown ones left, just planted the last of the seeds a couple of months ago, and have been buying butternuts for a change but if the others don't have any, next time I have some I will send you some.

Thanks Gail theres plenty of time before my the next season.

i can manage some seeds, richard.
consider it done.

Shame you cant grow them all year round like I do Richard I reckon you would soon get sick of them..

They have a very strong pumkin taste Richard, I prefer the grey its a lot milder and roasts/bakes better.

Kent Pumpkin Grey Pumpkin Much Nicer..

it's all looking great MA

really?
i'm the other way around.
i find the kent is more moist...the grey more dry.
i like moist.

Thanks tessa i'll give them a try as we love our strong tasting pumpkins in this house.

I find kents have a much nicer and slightly sweeter taste than the big greys... and much moister. My kids, none of whom like pumpkins much... eat them under protest, prefer kents for their flavour. They greys don't have too bad a flavour if left until fully ripe... I find a lot of bought greys are too green still and haven't developed their full flavour so I prefer them home grown and left on the vine as long as possible.

We all have different taste buds and Kent remind me of Pawpaw
Its colour almost identical with a overpowering taste just like them..

This is one of mine from last year. It weighed between 8 and 9 kgs... my kitchen scales don't go that high... not a very good picture as it was taken with my old camera

She is a whoppa Gail and looks very yummo

It was a nice one too... just planted the last of the seeds I saved from it a couple of months ago so hopefully will get some more

Grey Pumpkin

You can only eat so many pumpkins. The neighours got them, my daughter got them

This pic was taken on Jan 19th this year

No one wanted them in the Summer so we binned them took over a month...
