Just HOW bushy do bush pumpkins grow?
I planted Golden nuggets witht the aim of growing them up a trellis, only to be informed that as they are "bush" pumpkins it's going to be pretty difficult to do this.
So how much space will Golden nuggets tke up? Presumably they won't sprawl all over the garden like vining pumkins |

| The ones I grew a few years ago took up as much space as a zucchini plant. :) |

| Nuggets are quite compact. Some of the others (like Bush Table Queen) do spread a little but probably cover about 0.5 square meter which is tolerable. Plant them in close rows and let them scramble over each other. |

well, they definitely won't be growing up the trellis I carefully attached to the wall!
How many pumpkins do you get roughly off a plant? |

I've got about 6-8 fully ripe golden nuggets off each plant, on average.
After a number of fruits have set, the remaining flowers abort naturally. Manuel. |
