Garden Progress

Look at my pumpkin! I am so excited! I just hope it carries on growing so that I can actually use pumpkins I have grown myself this halloween - how cool would that be! There is actually 3 growing on the plant so fingers crossed they all grow lovely and big (how strange, I have just looked out the window and saw a black cat sniffing around them...spooky).
The strawberries are finally beginning to materialise too. The one on the left, in the basket I thought was never going to flower, but this week it has flowered and there are even little strawberries appearing. The one on the left is a wild strawberry plant that Sally gave me. It travelled all the way back from Dundee and wasn't too happy when it got here and had all but died. But it looks like it is having a new lease of life at last.
Also I don't normally like putting photos of myself on my blog and I am a bit pasty looking with no make-up in this shot but Emily took it herself! I was so impressed at what a good photo she had taken I just had to share it, so there it is.
