Default does anyone have any tips?

g'day witchy mama,

you can pretty much grow what your heart desires.

i would suggest using raised beds! cuts down on the toil. my raised
beds are run as 'weed-free', 'no-dig' & 'water-wise'.

pumpkins don't need to take over the vines can be trained around and
around the growing mound or you can grow them up over a trellis, which
could be an old bed base or piece or reinforcing mesh. you may have to
make a sling to support the maturing fruit but that is easy using old
panty hose.

if you want to save your own seeds you will need to buy open
pollinated seeds, most of the common seeds are hybrids. brands like
eden seeds (available in most health shops) are the ones to look for.

look in my garden page at my site i show how i do my raised beds, too
easy.
