Pumpkin Planting!
Once again, we planted a few acres of pumpkins! We had last year's experience of the planting method under our belts, making things move a little quicker this year. We use PVC pipe that is cut at a slant on the end for planting, as well as a sling to carry the pumpkin seeds in. Sticking the end of the PVC pipe in the ground, you drop a seed down through the top, pull your pipe out of the ground, and step your seed down. It's as easy as that! It is a lot less back breaking than bending over to plant that many acres of pumpkins!! We hope for a crop as good as last year's!
