Hello from Under Down Under!
I was surprised by the out come and was wondering when to pick it, as I`m use to growing pumpkins and waiting for the stalks to dry on them. Tastes great though and a quarter of it has gone all ready and better than the water melon my gf bought the other day from down the road. Might keep a few seeds for next year, as the ones I have are use by March 2016.
Picked in the morning, pickled by lunchtime. YUM!

I pickled some lime green capsicum, 4 Cayenne chilis, a tea spoon of peppercorns and let it sit for a couple of months.

I planted a punnet of caulis, broccoli, wombok (chinese cabbage), bok choy, peas, snow peas and red onions a couple of weeks ago. Thought it best to plant now, while there`s a bit of warm weather around, to give them a head start before winter sets in.

The frosts are already here so no planting for me for a couple of months

Love eating the old Zucs, haven`t grown any for a few years.
Dug out about half the dirt in a section of the raised vege patch to day and put in half a bale of sugar cane mulch with 10 x 20 litre buckets of compost on top with one bag of each of cow and sheep manure. The reasoning is that the compost over flows due to too much dirt and it has served its purpose for the last 8 years. Watered it in and ready for the punnet of Womboks , silver beet and two punnets of beetroot. Picked the first pine apple a few days back and waiting for the other three to show up with some thing. Smells nice and ripe at the moment.
