                    Just measured and photographed my AG this morning, to compare with last Sundays measurment.

                    Its now 35.5 x 35.5 x 47 (OTT x OTT x CIRC) Total 118, Giving me a weight of 43.7lbs...an increase of 8lb since Sunday, roughly 2.5lbs per day.

                    Next photo I'll put something else in the shot to show scale/size.

                      Harvested my first yesterday. A decent size for cooking with.

                        How about this then

                        pumpkin2013sept05.jpg

                        My other 2 pumpkin plants have pumpkins the size of ping pong balls. My marrow plants normally produce something over 40lbs, but haven't produced a single fruit this year.
