I can see why they lost out to pumpkins in the long run. Nothing going for them (bar nibbling of course). Amanda – you actually used a swede, bravo!

No-one believes me and I find it hard to credit myself now - it took ages and was very hard work! Mind you, I quite liked gnawing on the lumps of raw swede, but don't fancy raw pumpkin in quite the same way.

I live on the other side and it is a warm climate and we have our up and down, sometimes everything is just right and sometimes the beans won't grow or whatever...but in the end , there is always something that does grow.
