We put in three large water tanks (4,500 L each) in the front yard and put a trellis in front as a screen. We grew butternut pumpkins up in summer - planted two, but others grew (from the compost) including jap pumpkin. We also grew four bush pumpkins. All up, we harvested about 20 butternut pumpkins (the vines are still going strong and it's April !), about 30 bush pumpkins and several jap pumpkins. Enough to last through winter. We also had tomatoes, basil, parsley, spinach, rockmelon (wild), dwarf snow peas, sweet potatoes and potatoes in the front yard. A constant source of interest for neighbours!!!! We're in the process of re-doing the pathway, creating a new planting area. Photos soon when the paving and planting is done.
