PUMPKIN

The VIP is delighted to see how well his pumpkin seedlings are progressing in the greenhouse. What he doesn't know is that I plant some seeds two weeks before he does, then swop the labels so that he gets germination in a week. That was two weeks ago and he is astonished today to see how big the leaves now are. He had great success with his sunflowers last year, so expectations are high. He watered the pumpkin seedlings carefully and gazed at them lovingly. Then he said, 'Your plants are coming up well too, Granny.' Bless him.
