Pumpkina is in the soil (well manure really)


Underneath this pile of horse manure is a pumpkin seedling who shall be known as "Pumpkina". It is protected from a vicious gang that patrol these parts, Tufty, Nutty and their friends, who use the street name of "Fluffy tailed rats" will not be getting anywhere near this little one!
A bit of water, a covering with a polythene cloche and an inspection daily should produce a healthy pumpkin plant. It is possibly a little early for them but the patch was getting cleared of weeds and if this one fails there is still time to do one more.
