We've been really proud of our garden this past year. We've harvested plenty of herbs and vegies. Our latest crop (but which we've taken out now) mostly self-seeded. After summer (during which we didn't buy one tomato- tens of seedling came up from our worm castings which my husband had dug back into the garden) we planted a small number of autumnal plants including about 3 pumpkin plants, some cucumbers, some corn, basil, mint and garlic chives (which the chooks enjoy more than we do).
It was a bit of an experiment but we harvested 3 pumpkins and lots of herbs. The cucumbers didn't really eventuate. It wasn't long before a creeper seemed to take over the garden and then begin growing up along the path and right across the lawn. It produced small, squash-like fruit that shrivelled once ripe enough to eat. I put one in a cauliflower bake one night but it wasn't convincing enough to keep the vine!
