Thanks. We have two pumpkin patches. One is much smaller, but the smaller one is producing more pumpkins, because the deer ate too many in the big patch. Neither garden has a fence, but the deer pressure is just much worse in one than the other. Surprisingly, the small garden that those pumpkins came out of is not bottom land, nor has it had irrigation. We have not had a good rain in well over a month. That ground did get horse manure, and I think the humates in the manure have helped those pumpkins produce well with minimal water.
And I did sell a few mums. One of my purple varieties seems to be the first to open. I put pics on the Mums for Fall thread. I am liking the Mantauk Daisies quite a bit. One market customer mentioned today that he used to own a nursery and that he has seen Mantauks doing very well as perrenials in my town, which was good to hear.
