Planting onions and picking pumpkins

The garden beds were once again starting to get overgrown, so another clear-out to make room to plant some onion seedlings I had planted in pots and needed to get into the ground.
The other task was to harvest and clear the pumpkins which had self-seeded in the raised garden beds, likely from the compost I put into the beds.
I like to keep the pumpkins on the roof of the verandah until I'm ready to use them. It allows them to ripen further in the autumn/winter sun and keeps them away anything that might want to eat them at ground level. It also means it doesn't take up any other storage space in my garage or in the kitchen. When I'm ready to use a pumpkin, I just pluck another from the roof! 😄
