It looks like my season could be done early this year, a job offer came up and I decided to take it which will not allow me to return to the farm this summer. The most I can probably do is just cross some pumpkins to get new genetics for the upcoming year. They won't be huge by any means but the size of the pumpkin has no bearings as far as genetics and performance go in the next growing season. The pumpkin patch at home will probably be converted into a garden in which the oats will be terminated with glyphosate at anthesis and allowed to stand to suppress weeds over the summer. Sweetcorn and/or potatoes will probably be planted and should do well in the patch.
