Are there any photos of your vege plot online?

I try to grow my zucchini's in the corner of mine, so that the huge leaves hang over on two sides, rather than taking up a huge section of the garden.

My pumpkin plant are trailing and bush type. The trailing ones are HUGE!

Good luck, look forward to seeing what you come up with.

This is the best photo I have:

I hae a space a little bigger than that, to the left of the photo, not edged with wood, that is where I was thinking about planting a pumpkin. There's room to trail it up the bank (not steep) there, too. The strawberry patch is 3 or 4 times what you see in the photo.

I think I'd just plant one hill of zuchinnis, at the back corner, next time. I can trail them over the back, and they won't overtake. There were 3 hills of 2 plants each, I think, in that photo.

Oh, you mean the one I've commented on previously? I knew I'd seen one before. :-)

One of my capsicum/peppers I've got growing looks like yours did, but I've left it as it's got one lonely pepper on it and I thought I'd see if it amounted to anything. Of six capsicum seedlings I've got 1.2 remaining. J helped kill them by yanking them out of the tray, and leaving most of the root system behind, and I just couldn't nurse them back to health.

Oooo, we're starting to think of what we want in our garden this year too. Still have four to five months before we can plant anything outside though.

I don't know yet when I CAN plant outside, I think March we can start here, but there is no harm in dreaming and planning early! I can stand to get started on the cleanup and clear out of the old, dead stuff, too.
