Pumpkin Patch


since writing my last post i have noticed lots of pumpkin seedlings popping up in random places.  Those places were already spoken for.  As you know pumpkins take up large amounts of real estate and need to trail of into areas that aren't in use.  So I made a  pumpkin patch at the end of the veggie bed where there is lots of unused soil where I've chucked kitchen-scraps dumping ground and a small spot left for a flowering cabbage and a slow chard.  The pumpkin seedlings transported well.
Next surprise seedling were a bumble of tomato plants...there are too many and they are already to big to move well.  I will let the drama play out as it may.  I might end up with a barrel full and have to make my own tomato sauce, a nice dilemma to have.
