Chibi Fugu Report - Kabocha Edition

Chibi Fugu here! Sorry for the long gap between reporting, I was being lazy and letting Game Fugu do all the updates. Still, now I'm back I have some great news on the Bromley vegetable garden. In addition to chillis, aubergines, pumpkins and tomatoes we now have a new addition to the family - kabocha (カボチャ)!

Mrs Game Fugu bought a kabocha from Waitrose recently, and after we finished eating it she tried planting some seeds in spare pots. We didn't think anything would grow, but a few days ago one of the four pots had a seed starting to sprout. It has already reached about 6 inches in height.

Now we have to hope a Japanese pumpkin can survive in the British summer. I think it will be kept indoors mostly!
