Yip....plain and simple - I've stood all over mine - sometimes stomped on it but now we have oodles and oodles of pumpkins AGAIN that we are now harvesting
Why don't chickens eat pumpkin seeds...all of our vines come from the compost out of the chookrun. Same thing with tomatoes but I'm not whinging 'bout them 'coz they aint growing just yet...give it time !!!
Luckily we like pumpkin and it is soo versatile.
The sweet potatoes have taken off and the beds have now been muclhed up with cow poop that we collected and crumbled.......yes it was dry and hard so it wasn't unpleasant. I'm sure I heard the worms singing as I walked past the vege garden last week.
One thing's for sure here.....if ever there is a world food shortage we'll still have pumpkins.
oh yeah p.s I tried making some cheese this week based on a very old and faded memory of many years ago. I tried maltese pepper cheese and aside from not quite enough salt it's actually not too bad. I've researched [googled] cheese making and found out that feta [yum yum] and mozerella is made the same basic way soo I'll try them after the rennet arrives in the mail. I used junket tablets and the result is okay but I believe I'll get a better result with actual rennet. Keep ya posted 'bout that one.
