Hi everyone. Last year I didn't grow giant pumpkins. After a few consecutive lackluster years, it was decided that the patch and I needed a rest. The patch had disease issues from too many years of growing in the same place. This needed to be addressed. Also, a little basic crop rotation could only help. Three cover crops were planted and tilled in over the last year. I did grow a regular food garden last season, and had my first foray into growing giant tomatoes. It gave me something to do while waiting it out for this year. The soil should be well rested and ready to go now.
