Fruiting pumpkin ...gone!

Finally after trimming the vines I managed to get a couple of beginning pumpkin babies ... but, but they all rotted away or self aborted! Haiz! The vines were also getting a sickly yellow and so I finally decided not to wait any longer and pulled out the two vines in the planter to make way for growing vege.

I know the fiesty elderly lady is also growing pumpkin in the fruit garden. I shall do my observation there instead :-)

A red juicy dragonfruit

A ripened dragonfruit. And there is another one ripening too.

Tomato vines are fruiting and dying ....

The tomatoes are fruiting but some of them are also dying at the same time cos' some vines are rotting away and some leaves are yellowing at an alarming rate. The fiesty elderly lady who grew the vines is waiting to complete the harvest and pull out the vines to make way for growing green vege in the same plot. The plot with the untidy vines look so messy and unkempt.

Hairy Marrow Vine

My neighbour planted some seeds to try growing this in the CG. From a single vine, she got a gigantic fruit about the length of a 30cm ruler and double the girth of those I can buy from the supermarket. She harvested the fruit and got the seeds out. The vine seems easy to grow and we may be growing more of this a a later date.
