  1. Your heap is decorated with sweet orange baubles for the season. Love it!

  2. Good grief! That's a compost heap and a half! There is a healthy population of slugs in our current one and they would love this dining-in opportunity!

  3. Is this also a Great Dixter photo, they like their huge planted compost heaps.

  4. Recently baked a small pumpkin with the top cut off, stuffed with nuts and dried figs...delicious. Used the left overs to make an upside pudding, topped with ginger sponge. Never had them sweet before. This was a small one. Of the ones I used to grow Turks Turban was my favourite. Will you be eating yours Anna?

  5. Is it Great Dixter again? I remember they have massive compost heaps. Or is it yours at your allotment?

  6. I'm going to say definitely Great Dixter! They have THE most impressive compost heaps and I know that Aaron, the veg gardener, loves to grow pumpkins in the heap. I have a similar sight at my local city farm - the stable sweepings are left to rot in huge heaps and the pumpkins grow very vigorously on those heaps throughout the summer - a glorious sight!

  7. Thanks for all your lovely comments. Yes it's a fabulous heap at Great Dixter. I do grow pumpkins at the allotment but haven't tried this method yet though one or two plot holders do with great results. Noelle - your recipe ideas sound most delicious :)

All your comments are much appreciated and treasured. I wil try to reply to everyone who leaves a comment, but it may take me a few days, especially when I start spending more time in the garden and at the lottie. I know that you will understand :) I am sure that I will also visit your blog if I have not already done so. If you have any specific questions I will either reply to them here or you can email me at : thegreentapestry@gmail.com

Namasté
