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)
spoiler
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
Jeez my plants are long in the compost you're doing well!
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
