River is definitely with child. I think still a little early to name baby or introduce to everyone. But it’s looking very hopeful
I can’t believe how much it’s grown since the above post. It’s looking very promising after seeing that photo from only a week ago.

I shall have to rummage in the undergrowth to see if Peg is preggers. Ultrasound would be useless I need a jungle clearing machete.

Today I pulled up my 2 courgettes . They weren’t doing well anyway. But the fish box they were in is now a nursery for rivers baby.
I’d like to introduce you all to little firefly.

You've got a winner there River, welcome Firefly.

Just found a massive black slug on one of river’s leaves.

^^^ I can't like that SC. Peg is in need of a haircut, I just haven't got round to it. Everywhere I go in her patch I find an enquiring tentacle. She has multiple pregnancies, choosing the right one or two is going to be difficult.

Definitely keep 2 on the go. After I keep just the one I read Giant pumpkin can abort a fruit anything up to 40” in diameter!
Think I’d be happy if mine even got that big.

40" inches!!? How big is this blighter going to get? Peg will have to start putting on weight before the winter.
RE: 2023 - Pumpkin competition - Small chilli - 24-07-2023
