HOOLIGANS ON THE LOOSE





I was given some wonderful pumpkins (thank you Fiona) called ‘Hooligan’
this year and I should really have guessed how rampant a pumpkin with such a name would be. I planted them in my 3 sisters bed (growing these  3 sisters - sweetcorn, climbing beans and squash together is an ancient American Indian way of companion planting and allows 3 crops that might otherwise take up a lot of room to be planted in one space).  They are now rampaging through the veg patch with gusto, not very companionably either.  Their saving grace is that they seem to be very prolific and are producing lots of fruits.
