Team-Pumpkin Patch Tour (Rain or Shine)
Under the protection of umbrellas the growers in attendance made their way around the patch to see what I have growing. The presence of the mosaic virus was very evident as well as my seeding of grass seed over most of the patch. It has had a chance to get well established and is my current in-season cover crop. The height differences are due to the different seeding dates but overall I was able to get a good stand on both plantings.
I think it was good to show the newer growers that even experienced growers can have challenges. I think when it come to the weigh-off only the best make it and it can be intimidating to someone who may not think they can even grow a pumpkin that is a couple hundred pounds. This is why we have made an extra effort to encourage the new growers to give this a hobby a try. Based on the e-mails I received post-tour it sounds like we may have saved one growers season which is great to hear. Go Team-Pumpkin!
