Duncan,
Wow, pictures are worth a thousand words. That is an incredible
pumpkin patch. It is raining and cold in Glover, Vermont today, but
those pictures have inspired me... if anyone needs me I'll be in the patch.
p.s. Slow growth this year... we need some warm sunny days. I won the
first round with the cuke beetles though. One application of sevin did the
trick.
Good luck,
Dan in Vermont
