Out of the blues, I noticed a creeper coming out of the grass patch in front of the house. Funny.. I dont remember planting anything there since the neighbour has practically abandoned his old pajero there. I just watched the creeper gre longer and longer. Soon I noticed golden yellow blooms to which a baby pumpkin is attached to. But after a few days the baby pumpkin rotted. Hmm..
A few weeks later, I plucked up the courage and asked the neighbour to move his old pajero.. hehe before the pumpkin creeper covers up his jeep. Then I sat back and watch the pumpkin plant grow.
After a few months, I decided enough is enough, the patch looks like a dump. So I grabbed a glove and a cutter and started to clear the patch. I started picking the leaves that can be eaten (masak lomak pon sodap!) and pulling the creeper into a pile. Underneath all the big leaves, there lay a pumpkin, as big as a baby's head!! I was so surprised.
So now I have a cleared up garden and a pumpkin. Hmm..what shall I do with it? My doter told me to make a pumpkin head (she has been watching too much Martha Ste*ward) but my sister told me to make wedges. That sounds interesting...
