I've been watching the emails for some time now and have not seen anyone
speak about landscape fabric under the pumpkins. Has anyone tried it? It
won't catch water, keeps the weeds away. I'm worried about bugs & rot
getting in from underneath. This is my first year at this fun endeavor.
Our soil in NW Mississippi has extremely high clay content. I'm originally
from Iowa where we had good 'ole black dirt. I'm surprised that anything
can grow in this stuff down here, but I've got 6 plants growing like crazy.
This year I'm not necessarily trying to get any one huge pumpkin. I'm just
seeing how they will grow and all that. I planted Atlantic Giants.
Anyway, I do enjoy reading all y'alls posts and appreciate knowledge being
shared!
