I'm planning a water garden ON my back deck.
I acquired a couple of 30-40 gal tubs, the kind that you would use for ice and sodas at a cookout.
I've done it before with large flower pots, but that was close to 10 years ago.
It's not too hard, and with a few "feeder fish" from the pet shop they will be mosquito free.

I Lost one yesterday Craig. Vine broke. I planted a little early and the skinny vine is about a foot long and not strong. A couple are going in next Monday. Put a grow box over it and maybe it'll get a jump start on the real growing seaon.

perhaps it hadn't sufficient time to HARDEN off...

i am growing sugar pumpkins too for pies and because they outlast
most other squash except for Hubbard and Acorn
I had one or two last til the following year and tasted fine
so i am planning on capatlizing on that attribute.
