Pumpkin Patch Report

The pumpkin patch got a late start this year so my only completely orange pumpkin is this little guy:

The larger size pumpkins at around 10 pounds right now are just starting to turn orange:

As you can see spotty mildew has been a big problem for me this year. Growing ornamental gourds in one bed with the baby boo white pumpkins.

Added one of the cedar tomato cages for the gourd vines to climb.

The crop may be small but they are nicely shaped pumpkins. Powdery mildew is such scourge!
