A response to Ziggys leafless trees, (pumpkin)

Took the dog for the usual walk in the park this morning and took my camera, if it gets boring, blame Ziggy.









We dont mess around with small sticks

 

A few more








This has never flowed so late


or this


Be afraid Ziggy, be very afraid.:D

 

Nice colours Pete, your local area, where is it?

Think I might plant one of my Caesalpinias, we don't get as much sun here as you do but I'll see what happens.

 

Maidstone Strongy.

Plant it against a wall, I dont think mine would do very well as a free standing shrub.

 

That's lovely Pete!!!! What a lovely place for a walk!!

 

Trees look a lot better up your way Pete, too dry down here for them, need a good downpour.

Thanks for the lovely Autumn Pics

 

Very dry here Ziggy, I'm guessing its more to do with wind.

Do you, or have you had wind?

 

Not harvested the Artichokes yet & haven't caught a Dogfish recently but

YES, the wind has been relentless all summer, its killed several plantings of beans outright, knocked everything over and driven me into an endless pit of dispair, thinking that this is the end.

Tried to convince Sister that we need windbreak fencing round the plot but to no avail

 

Pete, absolutely brilliant photos and I so love the Caesalpinia which I haven't got going here and still have seeds from Strongy I think it was and I plan to try again this winter ...

PS I don't see many people in your photos ...

 

Lovely pictures Pete

So it was you that stole my share of the sunshine today!

 

Thanks all for the replies.

I cut my smaller pumkin today, it was starting to rot underneath, but weighed about 50lbs.

I rolled the big one on its side and luckily its still solid.

 

Thats a relief Pete, just e mailed this thread to Steve.
