They were planted late to be ready between October 15th and Halloween, and because we had a huge farm party at the end of June and it interrupted our real farming schedule. It still remains to be seen whether this will work in our favor or not, but as of now this is what they look like...
We planted a variety from sugar to giant jack-o-lantern to white.
some are starting to turn orange!
hmmmm...and there were some interesting shapes...
oblong
pear
square
and nice and round.
And some had been tasted.
And these came in a pair.
This one was really very big. That's a quarter Gary is pointing to.
And this is a ghost pumpkin. These leaves are huge so it isn't small.
Even though some of the leaves had been succumbing to powdery mildew
so far the fruit was still fairing.
In the front of the field
there is a patch of indian corn
and a few mounds of gourds and a large patch of butternut squash.
The idea is to sell it all right out of the field just before Halloween. Wish us luck.
