Boo hoo, A4A having problems

Poor Dan, all his hard work and A4A’s database is being tortured. I hope things get sorted out soon. Chat room on there still works.

Went to the plot yesterday. Harvested a green cauli - perhaps a bit on the small side but when I did cut it off, I found a juicy (!) big slug resting (juicy slugs - not 2 words that go tastily together).

Picked a couple more Uchiki Kuri - out of seeds of this for next year (gave some away) so will probably get fresh seed from a catalogue. Also need a pumpkin - got 4 Rouge Vif D’etampes that are ripening (or ripe already). Have grown this variety two years in a row - should I buy more seed of it or go for one of the other pumpkins? I have some warty squash seeds though they didn’t get past the eaten by those juicy slugs stage this year. Will try again next!

It depends. On the one hand, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. On the other hand, you could be missing out on an even better variety. Do you have space enough to grow two pumpkin plants?
