Hi guru,

Amazing isn't it - how our gardens which, once grew a variety of
veggies, is rather rapidly being taken over by our pumpkins & squash! 
My old corn bed grew my Mr. Pumpkin this year.  Next year my potato,
tomato, cucumber, etc. beds are being converted to pumpkin/squash beds. 
I'm even toying with the idea of cutting down one of my apple trees to
get more light for one of my beds!
