For those of you who saw the results of my last carrot-growing attempts, I am now proud to present the latest, thinned and well dug over results! Much better!

Here are the other vegetables from my garden that I picked today. The cucumber is a heritage cucumber and my husband says they used to call them 'apple cucumbers' when he was a kid. They're really delcious - very sweet.

And here are some of my bell peppers. I do not like these peppers, and neither do the children. I don't actually know why I planted them - but my husband loves them. We have had a bumper crop too, and I've been giving them away and most everyone says they have such a hard time growing them.

And finally, the crop I'm most proud of, and it's ready for harvesting now - my Pumpkins! It is an American variety. I just love the shapes and colours. I grew these from seed. I'll actually be quite sad to cut them and eat them. They look so pretty in the browning and dying garden. Hope they taste as good as they look. We'll probably be sick and tired of roast pumpkin and pumpkin soup by the time Spring comes around. Can you get sick of Pumpkin Pie.... I hope not!
