I'm one of the crazy people taking part in the 150sq foot challenge down under here in New Zealand. It means we are trying to grow our pumpkins through our winter which could prove interesting. I'm also growing in probably one of the smallest areas anywhere (you'll see later when I post more photos) I'm currently living right in the centre of the city and am growing with what I have. I thought I'd share my reference object, it is a can of L&P which is Lemon and Paeroa. It is world famous in New Zealand, and while Paeroa is a town here, it is also the secret ingredient in this drink.

This is the crazy small area I have available to grow in this year. 150sq feet = 14sq metres and this area I have is 13.95sq metres. For a bit more information about what I am up to to prep it etc. Check out my blog post over at my site: http://www.giantpumpkins.co.nz/150-sq-feet-challenge-2016-entry-1/

So it's getting cold here being winter and all. And the 1740.5 Harris was slowly growing. Well until I broke it. This image of it is hard to tell, but it is broken. I've now started a 1409.5 Miller for the 150sq feet challenge. Will see how it all goes. More of an update can be found here: http://www.giantpumpkins.co.nz/150-sq-feet-challenge-2016-entry-3/
