It´s early August and the garden is thriving.
It has been a very rainy summer, and recently with more cool and even chilly weather.
Nevertheless the giant pumpkins, which have been growing since August, are now of a massive size.
They measure about 1 meter wide and I wonder how heavy they are.
We will have to make a large community pumpkin soup event!

| Now I cut the leaves to stop the pumpkin of growing more and force it to ripe. I don´t want so large fruits! |
