    I’m still so fricking nauseous 🤢 Surely after 4 days I’d feel better.

    Melbcat is sooky too so I should probably get her checked out again.

    The pumpkins are getting chunkier and more yellow. The golden nuggets are probably going to die before setting anything - the smallest slowest plant probably will. But I’m hoping that even if not ripe enough to eat, the jack be littles might at least get big enough for a nice photo piled in a dish.

    (It’s hard to tell which are which over the progress shots but I’ve now started just taking pics of the biggest ones)

      Green/underripe pumpkin can be eaten if cooked. Not as much pumpkiny flavour - more like apple but perfectly edible and def not poisonous.

      Also, next weekend is going to be warm at 28 deg/29 deg so just may continue to ripen a bit more.

        Fingers crossed. The tomatoes are still hanging on for a last gasp and still look fairly healthy but surely they can’t last much longer

            I planted them so so late. I wasn’t going to go for it until Thorn told me their volunteer seedlings were managing and recommended cherry tomatoes
