Pumpkins Everywhere!

Well there’s plants so far…lol I think I have gone above and beyond on this summers binge project when I planted the four acres of pumpkins

I have been doing my research though, I want to make some really good pumpkin pie from scratch. I did find this method but it’s just not what I was going for. In Fact the face makes it appear that it’s not fun at all this way! I do want to carve one like this and sell pies with the pumpkins – hehehe

We had a couple rows that didn’t get planted and one that didn’t grow anything. It rained two inches here so my first thought was what a better time to transplant while it is so wet. We all spent well into the night digging up all the ones we planted in the back-up area in case this happened and we lost some plants. I had no idea there were that many in a row, holy crap!

Everyone was saying well how many did you think were in each followed by I thought you were going to just plant a few pumpkins!? I replied “What did you think I was going to just plant four plants” Answer “No but not thousands of them”! At this point I realized the size and scope of this project and in my head was saying things like holy crap we are going to have a real problem come fall. Where will we get the boxes from? Buyers… we need buyers and so on and so on my head was spinning it finally hit me… Holy crap!

Then my second thought kicked in… We are defiantly going to have pumpkins so we had better get on the phone and start lining up the buyers. I didn’t want to do this and then we didn’t have any pumpkins but as you can see, yep they are growing. So we are going to get started today working on finding buyers for them this fall at harvest time.

This is just one of the smaller ones with Trina on the tractor behind it.

Have a great Tuesday

While it all sounds like an unbelievable amount of work, it also sound exciting.

I am a great pie baker but that isn’t how I do my pumpkin pies. HAHA

Hi, Wolf –

I may never eat pumpkin pie again after seeing that picture. Anyway, after I visited your Paul’s Pumpkins Facebook Page, I grabbed the address and checked it out on Google Maps. You really do live on a farm! Please post a picture as the pumpkins start to come in.

Bud
