Almost forgot to add that I am learning some very important lessons this Autumn about "balance". No use flooding the patch with all kinds of chemicals and manure etc. in a bid to get all the levels high--it is a real balancing act I am finding out and one that needs to be approached with caution and planning.

Also a little worried about next year and diseases. I did have 1 or 2 foaming vines and instead of destroying them I buried them under the pumpkin mound. Oh well, at least I didn't compost the pumpkin directly into the soil this year--even though I buried most of the vines in the mound too. Live an learn.
