I didn't think any of my pumpkin plants had survived the slugs this wet summer (down t' the allotment) but I had a happy surprise on Friday. One plant had weasled itself into the black current bush patch and, tucked away in there I found just one pumpkin, but a lovely specimen. It's blue. (That's OK; I planted blue to see what they're like.)

Now - pie, or jack o' lantern????? Hmmmmmm. Generally I'm glad that Canadian thanksgiving is in early October but it does pose a dilema in the Great Pumpkin Debate.
