growing pumpkins for a second year!
_______________________________________
last years:

i bought them already growing in a peat pot from the store..

planted them in a large pot. they didnt do so well :willy_nilly:

so i planted them in the only spot i had.... my front yard :tooth

they took off from there!

i also grew minis! those i started as seeds. they also grew in my front yard.... wait for it.... in a kiddy pool! :tooth


i got a decent harvest by the end. being my first time and all.
this is about half our haul. we had 2 more bigger pumpkins and about 15 more minis
___________________________________________

so this year ive finally got room in the back yard! go me lol

what allotment holders get over here is mice borrowing in from below and living a life of safety and luxury,all that free food and no predators

makes sense... i assume that more field mouse territory? im in a decent sized city and ive seen a mouse here only once in my life and for all i know it was a baby rat we got a lot of opossum though!

how cool! you ever think about growing? our atlantic giants are the big competition pumpkins. i dont know if they are the same breed name outside of the states...

the ones im growing this year are classic carving pumpkins called Howden and mini pumpkins called Jack-be-little
