However I did make a rare trip up tonight. Spurred into action by a report on the news that there could be a pumpkin problem. Apparently a lot of the commercial growers are stuck with a lot of green ones which haven't had enough sun to make them grow orange.
Now this is where I feel particularly smug. For some reason I planted out my pumpkins early and actually harvested a couple the other week. In fact I ate some for my lunch today. I had seven still up the allotment, and after hearing that particular news item, decided to venture up tonight and remove them to a place of safety. Normally I remove them from the allotment before mid-October before the 'Bastard Children' from the neighbouring estate decided to liberate them. But decided that they might decided to strike earlier in the month if they had heard the same news report as I.
Also managed to collect the last two courgettes and picked a good handful of the French Beans that had been belatedly planted. The flat podded variety doing far better than the pencil ones (really wish I was better organised and labelled things properly).
