Jean, of course you can, although I wouldn't hold your breath. I've heard her singing!
Thanks Lottie, and kate, I did have some in pots as well, but they got munched while I was on holiday. I also have a rule as well. What goes out, stays out! I think we said this before. I'm not bringing any bugs and creepy crawlies back in this house!! I was way too late starting them this year, being my learner year and all, so have high hopes for better outcome next year.
There won't be enough soup left to freeze it - everybody had second helpings yesterday and after today I predict an empty pan. I might get round to freezing some of the next batch! But I will also make some pumpkin pie with the next one I prepare. Also found a recipe for pumpkin cheesecake which sounds (and looks) delicious.
Didn't go out today - cold and wet!
Must remember to watch the Top Gear special tonight about the 007 vehicles, as I saw lots of them at Beaulieu.
It has gone darker and darker and now the pain is coming thick and fast. We just got in with washing/tools in time.
OH has started digging the rest of the 'fairy' bed. It was grass - I can hardly call it lawn- really hard as we have clay.-, compacted etc. I sprayed grass ages ago so it is dead, so He is digging it in. Then will tip it with old potato bag compost and let the frost do its stuff.Planting in spring.
Problem - perhaps someone in cyber land can help- I bought a large eremurus root to plamt in bed but now do not know what to do with it as bed nowhere near prepared.
Next door neighbours are offering pumpkin soup tomorrow!
Flo-I also have white highlights! Not through choice.......and certainly not due to any painting activity!
I love boat's! Would gladly sell up n live on a canal boat! I put it to OH once, but would have no part in it! Oh well! I await in anticipation of a winning lucky ticket!
bjay I wish you luck with the eremurus, It took me ages to find a spot big enough, you need to add lots of grit and give it a little hill to raise it up, then in the first year it was eaten to death, the second year it produced leaves but then nothing happened next year will be its last chance. The root I was given was at least 15 inches wide. Do you have a seed tray it could sit in damp compost over winter?
Just watching news. This superstorm is getting scarier by the hour. Feel sorry for all those people .
Hi Dean, hope you're keeping warm in your onsie !
Bjay I don't know much about foxtail lillies but could you store it as you would a dahlia tuber. Apparently they don't like having their roots disturbed .
Trying to think of something for tea but it won't be pumpkin
Ernie, will dispatch some soup to your cyber-locker immediately! Pumpkin is nice but Crown Prince squash is my favourite - sweeter, more dense flesh, and stores for ages! Why did I only grow one??
It does look like New York is in for a battering. They seem well prepared though.
That bloody onesie! Caused me no end of bother! Should have brought it home for youngest daughter I was told! I thought it idious! (I obviously have no fashion sense)
Was told last evening by OH (With stern pointed finger) I had to collapse the little guy's travel cot's they used one night last week, or I would be fed to the lion's!
Glad to report the Lion's shall be going hungry! as I, if like yourself, I don't make a decision on what to eat!
Just watching news. This superstorm is getting scarier by the hour.
I've been glued to the news channels. If you have satellite you should be able to get several US news channels, which are giving continuous coverage. Obama is addressing the nation right now, on CNBC. He hasn't actually said much. I think he just wanted to get his face on TV.

It is getting very windy and stormy across ocean-we will at some point get the aftermath of of this but not that intense
I have never tasted pumpkin
-in any shape or form -thought Lottie assured me it it is lovely
I have finished the ironing
