After lovingly tending the pumpkin plants over the spring and early summer, the time came to make them reproduce. Unfortunately, many pumpkins do not have the neccessary insect friends in the UK to be able to reproduce alone. So many July mornings saw me indulging in pumpkin humping and inserting the male flower into the female one. It's not wholy unpleaseant, but a surprising amount of sap leaks into one's palm and this makes the whole affair more than a little uncomfortable.
Anyway - now you can marvel at the fruits of my labours
