I had some sad news in my pumpkin world here in Honesdale. My very first diary photo in 2009 was of a local farmer and pumpkin enthusiast unloading a mega load of 30 year old compost. We had bartered the compost for a big pumpkin for his front porch. This year I dropped off my 603 pound pumpkin in exchange for a deep plowing of my patch and more compost. Bill made the trip over and dug deep in the patch in hopes it will loosen up the soil and it will drain better. Unfortunately a few days later he had a massive heart attack while driving his dump truck and he never recovered. Rest in Peace farmer Bill. I spread winter rye on the patch with s few maple leaves and now we are all resting until next year. Here the monkey inspects the patch. Hopefully 2010 I can get this damn monkey off of my back, hit a 4 digit pumpkin and send his hairy butt to Sayre where he belongs.
