Mac at Pesky'apostraphe mentioned the other day that she will be square foot gardening this year. I followed the link in her entry to the SFG website and found the method outlined there quite interesting. It might also be a solution to the probelm of wanting to grow a pumpkin plant again this year but not having the vertical space for it, as was proven by last year's pumpkin plant.
Acording to the SFG website you can train a pumpin plant along a trelis like any other vine, and you an do that with watermelon too.
This has me considering building a couple of very strong trelises and grwoing a pumpkin plant and a watermelon plant. If it worked I'd get the plants, my family woudln't be irritated by the vines, and as a bonus the fruit would be protected from the slugs and whatever else it was that chewed holes in my pumpkins last year.
I'm also planning to grow tomatos, peas, corn, sunflowers, flax, and misc. wildflowers.
