I know I am a bit late to the party with growing pumpkins, but I am still going to try and see what comes of all of it. This year I am going to be a bit more aggressive. Over the last week or so the blooms have been popping up, so I have been manually pollinating them to up my chances of getting more pumpkins. It took me a minute or two to figure out how to write that without sounding cheeky. It’s kind of cool though to see the blooms shut after I pollinate them. I have done two blooms so far. It’s not an immediate thing, but they are shut the next day. I wish I had thought of this sooner, but lesson learned and I will do it sooner next year. If it weren’t for the fact that my baby bassets like to have lawn to play on I think I would turn my entire backyard into a veggie garden. It has been a lot of fun experimenting with new veggies.

The Queen of blogging is a fast paced, entertaining story about making ends meet when you have toddlers, a husband that works too much and showing off your life on a blog for the outside world to see.
Kajsa runs Sweden’s largest Health and Fitness blog. There’s only one small problem; it’s all a big lie. Between her blog entries on healthy nutritious porridge and flashy running shoes, she lies on the sofa watching TV and eating sweets. Her only exercise is using the remote control.
Her life seems perfect: A beautiful house in an attractive suburb of Stockholm, three children, a loving husband and loads of money.
However, things start to crumble when she accidently writes on her blog that she is best friends with a famous Hollywood personal trainer. The problem is he’s never met, let alone heard of her.
An ambitious journalist, who doesn’t believe Kajsa has been honest about her blog or her friendship with the personal trainer, sets out to destroy her.
Besides having to handle the annoying journalist, she must also deal with Peter, “the blog following hunk”, and a bizarre and outrageous priest who keeps spreading Kajsa’s secrets all over town!
