    Good morning everyone.Still trying to get used to this EXTRA hour that we have all gained.
    It's just getting light here,but at least it is dry,though I cannot remember what the forecast is for today,or for the week for that matter.

    We are going to be spending part of today sorting through the fruit and vegetables we harvested yesterday.I cannot believe the size of some of the apples.

    Hope you all have a good day [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Morning everyone,

    Kandy, your pumpkin sounds big enough to turn into a carriage :D . What are you going to do with it? We don't have any pears left but the apples seem to be hanging on quite well.

    Actually, some of them aren't hanging on so well as we have been picking up loads of windfalls. Fortunately, the grass under the trees is about 12 inches long so they have a soft landing but I'm not looking forward to cutting the grass. It was hard enough cutting the back lawn yesterday. Although it wasn't too long it was still damp and the mower doesn't throw it into the box properly. This means that the underneath gets clogged and I have to keep cleaning it out. It took me almost 2 hours to do what normally takes about 45 minutes.

    I went into the greenhouse to water the plants this morning and the cat that owns part of our propagator didn't look too happy about it. He was curled up all nice and cosy in his heated corner so I had to be careful with the watering. When I finished I said "sorry" to him but he just turned his back on me.

    Have a great day everyone.

    Hi Shiney,

    We could do with some Pumpkin recipes for the small ones,but I am not sure what we can do with the monster ones.The lady at the competiton last weekend had the proper "carriage" shaped ones she won with {113lb}Her seed came from America five years ago and she uses the seed from the winning one each year.Most of the big ones had to brought to the competition in a blanket with someone at each corner to carry it.

    My husband found another one hidden amongst the weeds and foliage yesterday and reckons that one weighs about 48lb.Not bad for a first attempt!!

    I cut my grass yesterday for the last time hopefully,but found it kept getting clogged up round the blade as the grass was damp.It took me ages as well and our garden is only 40'X 30'

    I shall be glad when it is slabbed.A nice green colour slab I think.

    I will get some photos on here of my pumpkins when I get a chance

    Morning Rosa,Is it tonight they are doing trick or treat?I keep thinking it is tomorrow night,but still I always get everything wrong.
    Are you recovered from your weekend away?

    If you ring Dag this week can you say hello to him for me thanks.Some of the apples and pears will be cooked for the freezer and the rest stored until needed.We have two fridge freezers and one upright freezer and they are all full of meat fruit and veg,with a few loaves of bread sqeezed in.
    See you on here tonight possibly.I am going out later to help my friendxxx

    Hi Kandy and rosa

    Yes rosa, we'll be going away for a while. I want to see some of the ancient sites in central and south America. We shall also probably go to New Orleans for a few days to see how they are getting on. We haven't been there for years and they desperately need the tourist industry to start up again to help the local economy. We were there some years ago for the jazz festival.

    I'm going to be away for three days this weekend for a big bridge tournament in Daventry. It would be very boring for anyone who isn't a keen bridge player but there are likely to be about 500 of us.

    Kandy, I looked at your Exmoor posting. The photos were lovely. I only looked at the first page but when I have time I shall look at the next one.

    Lots of things to do now so must go. [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Bye Shiney,you won't be far from me in Daventry.It isn't that far from me.Good luck with the tournament and I hope it goes ok for you.

    Rosa,I didn't like to ask Shiney if he had any more plans to go away,as I thought he would think I was being nosey.

    I too must go as we have loads to do and not enough time to do it in.Glad you liked the photo's Shiney [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]
