This year I had a squash plant with leaves 18" wide after having added compost to that bed.

Good for you spinbaby. I spent so much time on my school gardens that my home beds and containers were sadly neglected this year. I'm going straight to mums rather than any other plantings. Also other cold weather plants that I can carry into November.
