Pumpkins and other things in the garden

The vine

Its even grown around the back of the shed and up the school fence!

This is a Choko vine - its just getting flowers

This is a sweet potato plant. I've put it under

shelter in the hope the frosts wont kill it (too soon)!

We are going to fix bamboo screening to the outside of it, install a concrete 'cutting edge' on the grass side of the structure and  layer the base area with weed cloth and top with river pebbles and put two large rectangular pots in the corners with vines in them. Rhonda likes clematis, Clematis aristata 2:
