It is hard to believe that it is now five months since we started clearing a pumpkin patch for our food editor, Sarah, to grow her Halloween fruits. And even more unbelievable that the pumpkin patch ended up as a small allotment, with a multitude of beds growing food for our tables. Well now has come the time to harvest many of the vegetables and fruits we have grown - and you can read the next instalment of our home-grown story today.
