My soon-to-be-brother-in-law (see what I did there? Pressure lol) who lives in Springville gave me some strange advice. But, it's safe to say you can always trust someone in Springville/Arcade/Holland with farming and gardening advice--they all know what they're doing out there.

Whoops, so I'm not Farmer Brown.
The past three years together I have had 1 pumpkin actually flower. This year, I had 6. But, do these even count? lol
I had one big one and it's hanging two feet off the ground from the tomato fence...
If you want to add a touch of class, mixed in with a natural rustic look to your garden, you might want to think about building, buying or carving out (with a chainsaw) an assortment of furniture made from, or at least incorporating, tree trunks.
Water adds so much to a garden. And while ponds and pools are nice, the trickle and splash of an active fountain breathes fresh air and even a bit of a mystical quality into your garden oasis. When it comes to choosing or building a fountain for your garden, there are many options available to you. Some of these options can be quite complex (if you so desire), but they don’t have to be.
