An inadvertant pumpkin patch

[possum]

We have been getting the waste from the local cafe for the chickens. We have just been chucking it on the ground and the chickens are doing what they do best and scratching it in at least what they don't eat.
The area has just been recently cleared with some huge 30m high pines being felled and the rest having a major prune, so it now has light.
In the wste was often bits of pumpkins and of course pumpkin seeds.

I now have a pumpkin patch of a couple of hundred plants. After all the years of pine needles mulching the area it actually has some of the better bits of soil on the place.

How wonderful!
