I’ve been meaning to share this but keep forgetting!
If all goes as planned, Miley’s Market will be open on select weekends this fall selling… PUMPKINS! 🎃
I’ll be honest. I’ve tried growing pumpkins before without much success. 😅 This year, though, I did a lot more research, and so far things are looking great! The biggest challenge around here is that bugs usually get to the plants before they have a chance to thrive, but I’ve been staying on top of them with organic pesticides and antifungal sprays, and it seems to be paying off. I have had to hand pick some nasty squash bugs off but hopefully no damage was done…
I planted several different varieties, so this is going to be a fun little science experiment to see which ones handle our Florida climate the best.
Stay tuned for pumpkin updates over the next couple of months. I can’t wait to see how they do! 🎃
