This year has been a challenge to say the least. we are down to 3 plants after starting with 7. I believe Yellow vine disease is to blame. I just hope and pray that I have at least one pumpkin make it to a weigh-off. My giant melons look doomed as I have been unable to control the voles under the landscape fabric. The mice have been chewing up the roots and the plants are really compromised, the leaves are curling and the vines are limp. Arggh. Maybe I can get a giant tomato or field pumpkin..... that just doesn't get me that excited. It seems too soon to be thinking about next year. I am hoping for the best but feel like I am in a sinking ship here. I will fight till the end.
