It's the wrong time of year for pumpkins really, so they wont ripen as quick.

We're not worrying about winter planting this year. The mice and other pests are just too bad this year to bother and we don't have the time to invest in growing anything really.

So yes, I'm still here. Busy as always. Mice aren't as bad anymore, but we have a dead one in the kitchen somewhere and I cannot locate it - I turned the place upside down yesterday trying to find it but no luck so we will just have to wait another few days till the smell goes LOL. Gross I know. Mum is still in hospital, but they moved her out to this place in Dandenong that specialises in diabetes and it's associated problems so she is doing well. She will be down there maybe another 2 weeks at most.
