Need advice for growing pumpkins, possibly in a front yard bed beneath a porch. I have tried growing them several times in my vegetable beds as well as different spots along the periphery of my yard, with little success. I get the plant and flowers, then animals get to them or some other calamity. A few years ago I was sitting on my front porch and noticed a pumpkin vine with 2 actual pumpkins growing along the side! A jack o lantern must have rolled off the porch the autumn before. My only success has been accidental. I want a small pumpkin variety. do you think I can just train the vine along the front and side of the porch? There's about 15 ft.of railing there.
