Raspberries are in, meaning pumpkin harvest time is near!

The raspberries are just starting to come in, so this is a sign of fall. Overall the pumpkins are growing and I have not lost any yet as the only pumpkin removed from the patch has been loaded up and brought to a weigh-off. Personally, I think that the hail damage I had earlier in the season has affected the pumpkin plants because I am not getting growth like I have had in the past. With the wide variety of genetics and the overall below average growth across all plants, the one consistency is the hail damage. Even though the growth is not what I would like to see, I am still happy to have pumpkins to be able to take to a bunch of weigh-offs!
