Pumpkin pile

Just thought I'd share a couple of photos of the pile of pumpkins Fiona and I harvested since we returned from our trip. We had left about 20 at our front door before going overseas and invited friends to drop in and help themselves. The good news is that there were only 4 left which were were able to give to the airport transfer driver.

There are 28 pumpkins in the newly harvested pile - and there are still 8 on the vines over at the shed. So we are almost at the end of the 'great pumpkin saga'. I think the final count is over 80. I am not sure what brought such bounty about - lots of rain and warm weather at the start of the year maybe.
