| Pumpkin (possibly) |
My brother very nicely got me some seeds for Christmas, I had planned to have a whole bed of my favourite pumpkins, but so far, all that's come up is the ornamental gourds! Well, at least I've got something, but how do I get them to be ornamental? I'm guessing I've got to get the seeds out, but you never see holes in the ones in posh shops.....Time to learn a new dark art!

I lost the label, so the plant in the root-trainer pot is possibly a pumpkin, marrow, melon or courgette! You can see how well the roots grow in these pots (they split in half for easy access and reuse).

Here's the "leaves" bed - at the front is brussel sprouts, then further back (in toilet rolls) is some cauliflower (plants & seeds), brocolli plants, amaranthus calaloo seeds, cos lettuce seeds and rainbow spinach plants. Between the rows is leeks.
