I imagine the planting here looks quite nice in the summer. Beats me why they cut back the miscanthus already, mine looks gorgeous at home right now, but it's volunteer run. Apparently the contractor who installed it went AWOL. Just waiting to see if I have enough stem cells to collect.

An hour in the sunshine planting up a few more tulip and daffodil lasagnes. The only problem with big pots is they need a lot of expensive compost, so I mix in a bit of cheaper stable manure and bottom and top them with the same. Slow going as trowel dependent after last week's hickman line insertion which is still quite sore and stiff.

We were so pleased to have Justin Griffiths' new Surrey record pumpkin at Dorking pumpkin show today. Rather glad my one went to #tulleysfarm in September so he couldn't show me up 😂 I did enter some gourds, came second 😂 #giantpumpkins #giantpumpkingrower #pumpkingrowing

Lots of variety at the pumpkin show.

Pleased to see some of my genetics grown by others. Especially because now I know that line is orange! Both from the same plant.

The end of Abdul. It's decided to rot, so Tulleys have had to remove him from display 😥 I don't normally harvest in early September so I guess 6 weeks isn't too bad. Shame to miss Halloween though.
