Infeasibly large pumpkin harvest


I was nearly caught out by a nip of unforecast frost this week. Time to gather in those pumpkins and squash that have been running rampant on a pile of manure. This all took me back to the old Viz character, Buster Gonad, who you will recall was afflicted by a freak medical condition which meant he had to ferry his testicles in a wheelbarrow on his numerous adventures. I hope he got them in before the frost hit. My 17 specimens weighing a total of 45kg are now curing in the kitchen and lounge before be moved to a cooler storage space, where hopefully they will last through till spring.
