Topic: Pumpkin beds and fruit - progress

[Suzanne]

Thought I would post a few piccies of the pumpkin beds. Taken this morning.

They are looking really good Suzanne.  Which varieties are they? 

After a VERY slow start, mine have finally started growing.  I planted one Atlantic Giant on top of a pile of rotted horse manure and bedding, in the corner of a large bed.  It has now almost taken over the whole area and is making a bid for freedom through my compost heap.   There is no room to walk on the bed any more so I can't see if it's producing anything.  Someone told me to cut off the ends of shoots but I think that will just encourage more side shoots.  What do you think?
I'll take a photo today if it isn't raining.

The ones in shot are - from L to R

Amish Pie
Godiva (grown for hull=less seeds)
Sprinter (Butternut)

Out of shot but doing well as well:

You are doing well!
Mine have suffered from planting out late this year. They were really ready to go out in early June, but I was waiting to harvest onions and potatoes before they got planted, so they are only just starting to run riot and fruit. I will have a bit more space next year, so hopefully they won't suffer the same fate! ;D
