We did our weekly
veggie shop yesterday. One quarter of a pumpkin $4.50.
Hang on. We should
have our own pumpkins by now!
Several years ago,
our dear friend Yoshi looked after Gerolstein and its horses while Wendy and I
had a wee holiday. And during that time, she threw out the ‘pig bucket’ rubbish
not in the usual place, but on the horse manure pile. And we got nice pumpkins!
So this year we repeated the trick.
Last month the
pumpkin vines were flourishing. But we’ve been too busy to check for fruit …. But $4.50 a quarter? So this evening, around
8pm, when the heat of the day had somewhat subsided, we got into the little red
car and buzzed down to the back paddock and its manure heap.
Nice pumpkins …
Oh, more nice
pumpkins
The boot is so
full, that the little car is sagging. We’ll have to leave the rest till
tomorrow …
Good heavens! From
little acorns mighty oaks ….
And this winter we’ll
save $4.50 x 4 x 25 ….
