I don’t want to boast, but…
Have you seen my Halloween pumpkins this year? I grew them myself!
And this is my purple kale…
My Cavalero Nero…
My leeks…
And let's not forget my spicy Oriental mixed salad leaves…
I'd say we are going to eat well this winter.

Would it be possible to beg a few cavallo nero seeds please? I have been growing red Russian kale for years (or rather they grow themselves)and would like to try a new variety as well.
If you have some left over my address is 55 Aston road London SW20 8BG. I will return the postage stamp.

Ahhhh! you have put me to shame!
My raised beds arrived yesterday so I have somewhere to grow my salad leaves etc next year (the borders are currently filled with random cabbages etc) and my neighbour has offered us a patch of her land to grow potatoes/carrots etc. I am hoping for big things on the gardening font!
Well done you – very impressive 🙂

What a great veg patch, well done you.

Very impressive. When the puppy has stopped tearing up the garden I might try digging for victory myself. Yuck to the marrow though. I remember being forced to eat it as a kid (stuffed, with mince). Gross gross gross.

Hannah — mine are minis too!
Hannah | 30th Oct 09
Wow! Well done. Your harvest puts my mini pumpkins to shame!

Paradise — ah you got me. The little one on the left is only four inches high! I was impressed that it turned orange this year — last year there wasn’t enough sun and they were green!

They’re gorgeous – almost too gorgeous to eat……maybe not 😉

AH yes beautiful, but we need a tiny person in the picture to get a sense of scale;o)

Insomniac — They were much better than last year’s which were green because of the lack of sun!
Insomniac Mummy | 30th Oct 09
Wow! They’re impressive pumpkins!
All our attempts at growing in patio pots this year didn’t turn out very well. The only thing I maneged to to ruin was the herbs!

I’m jealous of your greenfingeredness!
There’s an award for you at my blog x

Thanks all, my veg patch is my one hobby (along with blogging…)

Cor Susanna, that’s some rather handsome vegetables you’ve got there!

omg i’m s jealous, you should see the state of our “pumpkins”……1st time growing veg,nightmare, no idea what we’re doing really!
Tattie Weasle | 30th Oct 09
OK you’re bragging – now all I need to do is work out how to use the digital camera and then plant the stuff and make it grow and hey presto I’ll be joining you! It does look VERY good!
Metropolitan Mum | 30th Oct 09
I reckon that’s enough to make spicy pumpkin soup for the whole BMB community. So when can we come over?
Potty Mummy | 30th Oct 09
All that and a blog empire too!
Liz@violetposy | 30th Oct 09
Get you Mrs! You have a great harvest there, I need to get myself into gear for next year! Happy Halloween!

Emma — I love my litle veg patch, would be happy to help out…
Emma @ Not such a yummy mummy | 30th Oct 09
That’s amazing! When we get our tiny patch of jungle cleared out I’ll be asking you for tips!

Rosie — perfect for pasta sauce!

The only thing we have ever tried to grow is tomatoes. It all went well but then we forgot to pick them and they turned to mush!
