Good for you they look great :)

I didn't read the book :(...just bunged 'em in and hoped for the best...and I've only had 3 small Sunshine (orange halloween) pumpkins, 4 acorn squash (Thelma Sanders) and 6 small butternuts (Harrier) :(

Note to self...read the book and do better...like Pompey :lol: :lol:

It'll take more than a book for Pompey... maybe a cheque book
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

Very nice, what varieties are everything?.... I can spot the Turks Turban, is the biggie a Big Max (others in the frame would be Hundredweight, Sumo or an outside possibility of Atlantic Giant but its a bit too regular and arnage for AG) What are the smaller pumpkins, Becky? Ghostrider?.... The butternuts look like Harrier or Hunter (or one of the othe modern F1)... I'm harvesting my lot probably next weekend so will try to add my pic as well...
