Fractal Broccoli and Our First Pumpkin

Just thought I would do a quick update on the vegie garden. The beds have been left alone for a little while now, I would love to say that they've been lovingly tended for the winter growing season, however whats really happened is that I haven't had the inclination to tackle the work to repair the beds until now.

However that being said we're starting to re-populate the beds and today we planted some Romanseco Broccoli Romano, other wise known as Fractal Broccoli.

The next thing I did was move the Sweet Potato. As you may remember, when I first planted the sweet potato, it was in a tyre next to our lemon tree. Well it's reached the point where the tyre is severely restricting the tubor growth so I decided to move it from the tyre into our middle bed.

Last but not least, our pumpkin vine has finally started bearing fruit. The vine has been growing since soon after I built the compost enclosure, and in fact started from composted pumpkin seeds. After meandering all through our back garden it's finally started to produce pumpkins.

Oh and for some reason, I really, really suck at growing potatos.
