Team-Pumpkin Patch Tour Day!

We had a great turn out and I want to thank all of those that made this event a success. It was great to see some new growers as well as some seasoned growers that were in attendance and visiting my patch for the first time.

In the picture I am posing next to the closest pumpkin to the back door (that also happens to be a nice orange pumpkin) with the crowd waiting for me to make it to the rest of the patch to uncover the remaining pumpkins.

The heavily weeded area is the plant site that I lost an early plant that I seeded “Contractors Grade” grass seed that has filled in nicely. I did let some secondaries get long on one of my plants to take over some of this space as a test. Since the grass was thick I was unable to bury the vines and this is the reason for the leaf flagging during the hot part of the day.

No complaints from me as far as the plants are concerned, just being virus free this year is a great feeling. Thanks to all that came out to my patch, hope it was educational.
