I absolutely love my pumpkin patch! I adore my regular garden too but there’s something about all those different pumpkins to harvest each fall.  I planted a few varieties they have not produced any pumpkins but we are having issues with our soil and once we get it amended before next spring I think that I’ll have an even more diverse harvest next year. If you have the room I encourage you to put all your pumpkin plants in a separate garden because they will take over any space you have!  Or you could do a three sisters garden where you plant corn, string beans to grow up the corn and pumpkins to surround the corn. It’s a beautiful way to make the most out of the space you have!
