Pumpkin plant in the flower bed
« on: July 07, 2008, 22:26 »
We got soil from the neighbour that had washed onto his patio in the past storms and put it on the flower bed to raise it up...... a pumpkin plant has grown there-  I thought it was another courgette, but the neighbour told me it is a pumpkin.... so I am very  :D  :D  :D  as I love pumpkin :D  :D   I am going to have to move a couple of the flower plants as they are being taken over by the pumpkin!  How big can a pumpkin plant grow????  I´m hoping it will go along the tiled patio and not choke the flowers.

I think I have a triffid- mine is massive!!  I should be grateful I guess it is only a pumpkin plant growing-  the neighbour found 3 cannibis plants in his olive grove in the soil washed up to the fence :shock:   He´s transplanted them into his flower bed.
