I've found homes for the lettuce and beetroot. Then I remembered that the pumpkins were going to go in the place now put aside for tobacco growing. Oh. You may or may not know that pumpkins and potatoes have a mutual animosity for each other. Potatoes don't like sunflowers either. So tonight I'm thinking of where to put the pumpkins.
The photo and description here are from Kings Seeds, suppliers of many good things. Just to show you how special these pumpkins are and why I need to find a home for them, specially since I've paid for the seeds.
