Here are most of the pumpkins from our yard, there are a handful that didn't fit on the stump!
Last year, I made some effort (not thoroughly successful) to capture state-of-the-garden pictures every month, including panoramas stitched together on Photoshop, in order to get the whole view of what's happening. So here's a little recap of the garden in 2023! early March April May June August It appears that I missed July, and either didn't take or didn't save this project in September, although we didn't have a killing frost very late into the season - we were still harvesting a few things in October. As much as I loved the lettuce that was growing in the tunnel, and getting an early start on a few things, I'm not a fan of plastic anywhere, especially in my garden, so I am looking at options - cold boxes with old windows, etc. I'm planning to start my 2024 garden this month - pea planting, planning, and seed starting in March! What are you planting?
Wow, what a harvest! I'm hoping to have a lasagna garden next year with a few pumpkins! I'm going to save the seeds from the "ugly" pumpkins I bought in hopes they'll breed more uglies for Halloween!
ReplyDeletegreat pumpkins Karen,
ReplyDeleteWill you use them to decorate for
Halloween? Do you cook them or do just eat the seeds?
I bet your kids love them and have some great jack olantern faces planned for them.
We have an area that is North of us that grow huge pumpkins - 6 to 8 hundred pound ones- they need tractors to load and move them.
check out this article if you would like to see how big they actually can grow..

Hope you are having fun with your pumpkins.

Great harvest! We only got about a dozen small ones and 1 large one! Much better than ours turned out!
