and Maz Buttenut pumpkins take up a heap of room they just grow like mad- we've got heaps and they're nearly ready to pick.

Try sugar snap peas - we have them growing at the moment and they do really well. we also have carrots, broccoli and cauliflower- we picked one lot of broccoli just recently and it had a gazillion catterpilla's in it and a REDBACK spider! arghghh.
