Tales from Easement Acres
It’s been a while since I had a good pumpkin harvest, and while my yield contains pretty small specimens, ravaged by squash bugs, it’s still better that most years past.
It’s a pretty pile of fall colors, perfect to usher in the season.

Last year’s squash patch was a sad disappointment. I think I got one pumpkin and a couple pattypans. The location, I believe, was undesirable. Too much shade, and too many deer. That was the patch I turned into the pollinator patch, which then got eaten up by rabbits instead. I can’t win with it.
So I moved the squash back to the main garden, foregoing the usual carrots and onions. And, again with help from the soil amendments, I have a very promising jungle.
We shall see.
