Tree trunks 2025 pumpkin patch

[Tree trunk]

Trying a pumpkin patch this year again.

Last year the ground squirrels and gophers ran a muck and destroyed everything….

I’ve been able to keep on top of the critter population this year so far

I got a truck load full of the nursary garden soil. I mixed in the garden soil with the native and made mounds. 6” to 8” above the ground
April 27th


I planted 4 to 6 seeds in each mound.

May 15th they are starting to pop up



June 8th

there are male and female flowers, the female flowers usually have little bulbs on the bottom of the flower, once pollinated they will start to grow

Like this little gal

May 25th

The minis are already coming in






If I can keep the squirrel and gophers population low we should have some pretty good pumpkins this year.

Nice! The pumpkin we bought in September finally died on our front porch, so I planted about 50 of the seeds in our garden. It’s been just under two weeks and they’re already 6”. Pretty wild seeing how fast they grow

It’s wild how fast they grow, a very rewarding plant forsure, every day there is some new growth or a new pumpkin.

@the bodj throw some pictures of your plants on here, I would like to see what you got going on

Found this guy hiding yesterday
I planted a pretty big variety of pumpkins but I’m not sure what I planted where. This one should be interesting
