Pumpkin comp and growing things (pics)

I’ve decided that some categories might help me keep track of things on here, especially as I’ve started referring back and showing progress in places. So, I’ll be adding categories as I think I need them.

Today we have Growing things and Pumpkin comp. The kids and I are each growing a Jack O’Lantern pumpkin to see who can get the biggest, or any. *Someone* is threatening to help the kids….

We put the plants in yesterday…

This is the kids plant:

 

And this is mine:

In other growing updates, here is the Bramble patch:

 

The spuds are coming up nicely and I have to go earth them over after I have some lunch. The bit where the fence shadow falls is mostly dug over now but needs to be wider and longer so the plant shelter/cloche can go there. The very back bit is a heap of the rubble we’ve dug out. emoticon  There’s rather a lot of it and we’re easing it into our bin bit by bit.

Last pic - by special request, some sunflowers…

 

Very small for now but survived the first night in the soil. More soap nut juice on everything tonight to keep the slugs off.
