      My pumpkins are bigger than my, er, melons, but mostly I've gone for cherry tomatoes!

      Loli, thanks for the hint...will keep some nets for my big boys!

        Yes Yvonne, you can google it but essentially it's where one or more blooms fuse.

          One of my Omar Lebanese is looking a bit 'cat faced' but I don't wonder with the temperatures around here:rolleyespink:

          One or two nice Mega blooms on my Beefmasters:blue thumb:

            Oooh, I do like your Omar's Lebanese. Cat-faced or not, it's going to be big and beautiful.

            Can we have an That's Life-type competition for the ugliest and funniest veggies too? I have a great picture of a rude aubergine to enter, though I didn't grow it.

                      That one's not going to be huge, but I've got my eye on a couple of others, including this one.
