Or two…
I thought I had 2 Mini Pumpkin plants growing away nicely at my plot , though, one is now looking suspiciously like a courgette plant. I planted them around the base of my sweetcorn where I thought they would sprawl gracefully along the ground. One of these is getting taller and wider by the day !
Hmm. Ok who switched labels ? Not guilty came the reply!
I grow verde di milano courgettes every year, only one, as they are so prolific.. This year my one and only courgette was killed by a beastie trampling on it and breaking the stem, though now I’m more inclined to think it was a size 10 boot taking a short cut over my plot.. Only time will tell just what I have planted next to my sweetcorn , did I sow two courgettes or could it be a Patti pan. I vaguely remember getting the seeds out then changing my mind..
I’m ignoring the fact that my Roma tomatoes that are growing up the black pole probably think its a bit too close for comfort..

Senior moment number two!
What the hell is this?

I’ve grown romanesco cauliflowers before so this year I thought I would try a new variety – Only three, then if they got the thumbs up from my family I would grow more next year..

Grown in 2007/2008
I’ve scrutinised the seed packet looked through my gardening books and googled images. Its supposed to be similar in size to a normal cauliflower low growing with similar planting distances – just like the one in the photo. So.. how come I’m growing a triffid ! They are planted with my cauliflowers with netting to keep the cabbage whites off – towering over my cauliflower’s and are at risk of breaking through the netting. Whatever they are, they will have to stay confined as I’m not risking having cauli’s infested with caterpillars – lord knows what I’ve sown
Senior moment number three
I haven’t grown these for a few years. I used to grow a couple of plants in hanging baskets at home. So why on earth did I sow and plant these out on my plot.? They are tumbler. Yep, they tumble down, they are not interested in climbing up the pole I put in for them. Hubs is not impressed as he was looking forward to the sweet million cherry tomatoes. He pointed out while watering that they were sprawling across the ground and not climbing the pole – whoops..

I’m off for a lay down now !!
Edited…
Doh..silly me… blushing… of course they are sunflowers..
My brain just didn’t make the connection. Sunflowers in my brassica bed was the last place I’d expect to see them. I’ve moved them to the back of my plot next to the two I have growing, though I’m not sure they will survive being transplanted. I usually pop a seed in the ground and water like Jack and the beanstalk – these now have a major sulk on after being moved..
Still.. its a mystery how they got there in the first place ?
