Harvesting Pumpkins at My Farm
Here in the northeast, autumn is in full swing, and that means it's pumpkin picking time at my farm.
Every June, my gardeners and I plant pumpkin seeds in a corner of the farm behind my main greenhouse and cutting garden. By October, the pumpkins, squash and gourds are ready to be harvested. I always like to use seeds from various seed companies, and seeds I’ve saved from interesting and tasty pumpkins I enjoyed in years past.
Last week, we collected a nice amount of these beautifully colored cucurbits. Our seeds came from several companies, including:
Sow True Seed
Southern Exposure Seed Exchange
Irish Eyes Garden Seeds
Renee’s Garden
Seed Savers Exchange
Kitazawa Seed Company
Natural Gardening Company
Johnny’s Selected Seeds
Enjoy the photos.
