This year has been considerably better than 2018 was. Last year was nothing but constant rain, and terrible results. This year has been near perfect conditions for not only my plants, but hopefully for all the local farmers as well. I’m excited to see what this years crops bring in a few weeks. Last year it was actually hard finding enough quality pumpkins to carve, at a reasonable price.
This year I planted 36 Field pumpkins, two giant kins, 1 mounds of Lumina kins, and 6 mounds of various gourds. I did lose 5 plants early to disease and another 4 or so that just never germinated. The ones that remain have been looking pretty good, but I’m now noticing several that are dying off due to SVB attacks. At least the plants have given me nice kins to carve before they died.
