Mystery Solved

But first, a reminder of what mystery plant looked like a few weeks ago ...


... and now ...


... I can't even fit it into one photo!


For all the space it's taking up, it has only managed to produce three butternut pumpkins ...
they had better be good for all of the inconvenience this plant is causing us at the moment.


(Yes, Samson likes to know exactly what I'm up to when I'm outside)

It's just about time to start planting some more seeds, the golden nugget pumpkin,
the cucumbers and the zucchini have all given up for the year ...
there's still a bit going on though, certainly enough to keep up entertained ...


... we have tomatoes finally starting to ripen ...


... mini capsicum (bouncing back after the possum attacks) ...


... one lonesome corn and The Sparky's beloved long sought Christmas Bell chilli ...


... and last but not least, the Harbanero is finally fruiting as well.

    1. It has been wonderful. We're heading out there again this long weekend to plant some new seeds and see what else we can get growing. I won't complain yet but the cold is definitely on its way here now ... :(

    1. It is a lot of fun, especially popping out to grab a fresh tomato ... nothing quite like it.

  4. Wow! That pumpkin plant has gone crazy! As much as you want an abundance of produce óut of your own garden, sometimes it's hard to know what to do with it all! Am sure they will taste great!

    1. Yeah, I'd like a little of this and a little of that ... instead we've ended up with a whole lot of this and none of that :) It's still fun though.

    1. It's funny, neither of us have ever really been green thumbs but somehow we've always managed to keep at least half of what we try to grow alive.
