Our Pumpkin Patch

We had a great crop of pumpkins this year.  We planted a lot more than last year and perhaps a little too close together as it was hard to get in the rows and "scar" them like I usually do.  I was able to do some for the kids, but Jack's pumpkin was chewed up by moles/voles/chipmunks/mice/squirrels. We share the garden 50/50 with the critters. 

This is about half of the pumpkins we got from the garden. Dave brought a lot of pumpkins to decorate the LTC at the hospital and I gave pumpkins to all my co-workers kids.  Dan, Nicole and the kids got a bunch, we gave a bunch to the Johnson's, and Dave will give the rest to his co-workers for their kids.  Any leftovers and the chickens get them.
