Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Due to setting up our aquaponics system over the last 8 months the soil garden has suffered.
But you can always rely on a crop of pumpkins
This is some of the harvest, we have already given away heaps and enjoyed a few pumpkin soups and stews

How many did you get Desertrat? We grew butternuts and Ironbark a few years ago and got 68, they were great and lasted twelve months.

I grew 19 on top of my chook house, kept the chooks very cool in summer and 10 butternuts on the ground.
They are funny I had huge pumpkins hanging off the side of the chook house with no support but their stems and they never broke, one was very elongated. I thought I would have to make slings for them, but no, they knew what they were doing.

Have you got a nice recipe for pumpkin pie?

Hi Faye
Didn't really count them but probably twice the amount that you see in the pic

Are these aquaponic pumpkins?

No J7 just soil grown. AP took up too much time this year and so my soil garden was neglected my only effort was throwing in a handfull of pumpkin seeds!
