[QUOTE="Farmer Roy, post: 7146675, member: 71668"] he got lonely & jumped the fence a while ago, is now wandering around with the neighbours cattle. Seeing as how I can’t keep her goats out, I am not too worried about that. Where I live here, it is very shallow soil over a sand stone shelf, so not ideal for deep rooted plants like pumpkins & melons. I won’t plant them in the garden beds as they will just take over, so they will be planted as a “dryland” crop out on the farm, in the deep alluvial black soil out there & where there is plenty of room for them. There is a reasonable moisture profile in the couple of spots on the edge of fields that I have allocated to them, so hopefully they’ll do alright. There is always the option to cart some water to them if they get desperate I will plant a couple of giant pumpkins here below our septic tank outlet, just to get a constant supply of water to them & aim for max size 😁 [/QUOTE]
