The 2025 vegetable season has started with the Vermont State vegetable which is the Gilfeather Turnip. This was created in the town of Wardsboro VT and they host a contest every October. If any Vermont Giant Pumpkin Growers are interested I still have plenty of seeds to share.

The pumpkin and long gourd season has begun. Here are the first round seeds. I am guessing the 907 may not germ but if they do it would be great to mix these older orange genetics in.

We were able to get the amendments on and garden tilled before the rains hit Saturday. The hoop houses are in their spots and soil heating cables are dug in. Next up will be weed barrier but that will come later once the soil dries a bit.

We also started 22 giant tomato seeds in hopes to fill 18 spots but if more germ we will plant them outside. So far we have 14 pumpkins and 6 long gourds started for just 6 total spots. Typically, we end up giving away most of our backups to growers who have had bad luck.
