What's the marrow with my pumpkin?

There has been a catastrophic error made somewhere that has sent waves of confusion and resentment through the PAMELA community. The once pumpkin is now possibly a marrow??? Reports have come in from AOL (Allotment of Chumps) that Woody has handed out only marrows which would mean I have been made to look a little daft (see www.griffin147.blogspot.com for more details).
These pictures were taken a week ago, since then two more tendrils have emerged to span nearly a third of the plot.
Gulp, its like "Honey I Shrunk the Craggle" down there.

Grumble Weeds

The allotment took a beating during the latter weeks of spring. The rain came down for 19 days and 19 nights and the weeds grew 'til my fodder was no longer visible to the human eye. But with a 3 days working like an ox I managed to pull it back.
I am visiting the allotment twice daily at the moment to water the pumpkin that is growing 10% by the day. The rhubarb has been harvested and doled out to a few freinds, the strawberries are due for picking and the onions and lettuce could feed a vegatarian army.
The competetion for best newcomer looms so I am keeping my fingers crossed for an award. The Allotment BBQ night is nearly upon us and promises to be a fine evening
