My pumpkin, squash, and melon patch. I love the grass walkways. It’s so lush and beautiful. However, it’s not sustainable. The plants are growing into the walkways and it has become challenging to pick up the vines as I mow. Next year, I’ll use landscape cloth for the paths. I’ve learned that growing flowers and pumpkins for yourself is very different than growing on a larger scale for a business. I already have a list of things I’m changing up for next year. Last year there were issues due to lack of pollination. This year the area is surrounded by a carpet of clover. It’s a perfect haven for the sweet little pollinators and they are clearly visiting the patch.
