Steve!!!!! Well fancy meeting you here. Must be your cool weather that
kept that pumpkin going no?
Anyhow this garden group has been going since before a.b.p.orchids so I
do not
understand why the plug was pulled for some people & not others.
Anyway good to hear from you.
Cheers Wendy

So... why am I showing a picture of a homely, yellow, warty pumpkin
standing next to a handsome orange pumpkin? Well, I picked the nice
looking one earlier this month from my garden. The one on the left was
picked from my garden in early October of 2007. Over 2 years ago. It's
been hanging out in my basement all this time, being pushed here and
there to get it out of the way. I have been very tempted to cut it up
and, if it seemed OK, maybe make a pie out of it. (Just to say I made a
pie out of a 2 year old pumpkin.) I've decided that I don't have time
to do that. Minutes ago, I brought it upstairs, took it out front to be
a Halloween decoration and then took this picture. I'll compost it in
November. Enough is enough!
