# 2300The least said about the pumpkins the better :)

# 2283The beans have finally got going, though, don't ask me which are which!

# 2258Oh well, at least one is still growing :)

# 2232Still looking good, though I really must now stop cutting them back :) The one on the pallet's about the size of a volleyball, the one on the earth is getting around football size.

# 2184I've reduced them to two fruits per plant, now I'm slowly plucking up the courage to remove all the excess leafy growth.

# 2167How they looked after I cut back around half the leaves. I'm yet to choose which of the fruits I'll leave to mature.
