My African Keyhole Bed - The Pumpkin Patch 🎃🌿🥒

A very warm and humid morning and the weather looks set to stay this way for some time .

  I decided to plant out my Courgettes , Butternut Squash and a couple of Pumpkins ( for the children to carve for Hallowe'en )

I spent most of the morning  pulling out bindweed roots .

 I worked hard to get as much as I could out ..every last little bit of it ...hopefully .

      Then flipped over the paving slabs to make two fairly level steps .

 One on pointe at the back , this should allow me to step in and water everything .

A watering hole in the middle . Watering into this centre hole will encourage the roots of the plants to go down deeper .

 I have chicken-wire all around to keep the bunnykins out .

      

                     Planted them all out !   Time for lunch and a flop !
