Im doing my first patch this year too sonic. Ive only got one plant but it has grown about 5 feet in the last 2 weeks. I have no idea if thats good. I need to read up on what to do exactly so if you have any tips they would be great. Ive heard beer is supposed to help them grow 8)
Keep posting pics. I'll try and remember to take some pics of mine.

I'm trying to grow some too. I planted 12, which is way to many. They're taking over my yard! I've just got a bunch of flowers, no pumpkins yet. How about you?

Looking good SS. Don't be sad if they turn yellow in a few days and fall off, loads more should grow. Ive had about twelve grow and do exactly that. Ive got three kins that have made it past the kiwi stage and are getting big. They are about the size of melons just now.
Keep em well watered.

Its great accutally but my kins are too small, Undead Teds hands fit two of them. But one of the other two is about 6" long where as the other is about that in height. Making the patterns smaller, bad idea for me since my hands arent the stadiest.

But other than that, I'm having a great time growing them. I'd share pics but my desktop comp is (hopefully) temporarilly out of commision. SO that prevents me from updating with pictures. :cry: :cry:
