Harvested my Pumpkins this afternoon. Two monsters, not sure what to do with those (I may carve one for the first time ever). And several smaller, suitable for roasting and stuffing which a nice pilaf mixture (I'm thinking rice, toasted sunflower seeds or hazelnuts, diced dried apricots, toasted curry spices, red onion, crumbled feta). Pumpkin plants went on the compost along with exhausted plants from the coriander and rocket patches.

As the soil is nice and moist due to lots of rain, Mr. has been digging out some deep rooted docks at the bottom of the garden - which has been much neglected wilderness since we got here. I've been uprooting shed loads of seed laden Fat Hen from almost equally neglected border in the hopes that I've caught it early enough that the seeds aren't ripe yet!

Going through the online shelves at 'MoreVeg' and filling up my basket with things I'd like to try next year.
