Today’s weather seemed to give the lie to the onset of autumn but the deepening orange coats of these pumpkins signal otherwise. The skins have changed from a shiny lemon to a dull orange which means, I think, that they are ready for the pot. These are destined for a risotto. As you can see the courgette plants have finally gone into full production mode – a little late in the season but I’m not complaining…

Thanks! Glad you like the photos.
I'm based in North-West England. I don't have a garden of my own - just a back yard with plants in pots. The blog is mainly about my efforts to grow veg in the allotment that I rent.
Courgette production this late in the year?! You are lucky. Mine have finally gone over and because they weren't as abundant as last year because of drought I never had a true glut so am left wanting more!
Yes - I'm really enjoying them.
Thanks for the courgette recipe on your blog - I'll have to give that one a go.
