Mine are growing in tyres placed on top of the compost bin site, on the basis that the soil underneath shoulf be full of good stuff. I also boosted the tyres with enriched potting mix, and the beans have certainly benefitted from that extra food.
I have put your seed recommendation on my watchlist Olive, though space could be an issue. Still, I may be able to solve that conundrum! It looks like a good punkin, nice and lumpy, lol, but not quite as gorgeous a colour as my baby...

It has a fantastic flavour and the flesh is dry so it keeps well. We grew it when we had access to a paddock next door and I'm tempted to plant some next season next to the compost bins and let it run free.[attachment=196]
