As pumpkin farmers, we experience what all others farmers experience in regards to the weather….it’s never quite perfect! Because of all the rain we received this spring we had to wait longer that normal to plant and now we can’t seem to find a drop of rain anywhere! However, pumpkins prefer dry heat more than wet, so we’re doing alright. I think the plants are doing better than me…90’s all week here. Which means I feel just like I do during the winter months…keep me inside in the climate control!
