Here is a sketch of our main garden. Our goal is to get a rotation set up so we have only have pumpkins in the same spot every other year or every third year. We dug some drainage ditches last fall and will have more to dig in the spring. The soil itself is well drained, but the reduced sunlight, protection from drying winds and humidity keep it fairly damp. We hope to prevent some of the disease problems tht hit the past 2 years.
We will have 6 pumpkin plants for October, maybe a couple for the state fair, as well as a lot of other plants. We grow watermelons and long gourds for Pumpkinfest, and Jacob wants to enter some stuff in the FFA division at the state fair. The upper patches will have the long gourds, state fair watermelons and some tomatoes.
