Pumpkin Patch/Yard Pictures

yak651 · Jun 10, 2012

Too hot to do much yesterday afternoon, so I took some pictures around the yard.
My two helpers...

Ok, sometimes he isn't really helping...

Rasberry patch, hopefully next year will be ready for picking

Some pictures of the pumpkin patch, don't pick on me for the weeds, I only work on this after my real job...

Wife wanted to plant some sunflowers

She does a good job of keeping the rodents away

The wife's gardens

My sugar maples I planted this spring, maybe in 30 years when I turn 70 I'll be able to tap for maple sugar...

Very nice looking place!

I suppose it's true you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but it looks like he/she is asking to be trained to run the rototiller.

Why not plant 30 year old sugar maple trees? I have transplanted at least 20 over the years and all but one have survived. Yep, you need a source for trees and a TLB or forklift. Some are now a foot to 16" in diameter after 25+ years. Maples are shallow rooted and transplant well.

Nice barn!

How many acres of pumpkins?

yak651 · Jun 10, 2012

If I had a source to dig some I would, the seedlings were the most economical way for now.

Beautiful place, young man. I really like your workshop. Thanks for the pix.

That's nice, what state are you in? That tiller has a few years on it doesn't it? Looks to still be in good shape.

Wow, absolutely beautiful place... barn, house, lawn, critters - the whole nine yards!

Love that tractor seat you "planted". My husband has one in the barn - now I know just where it is going to go... will plant it in my rock garden by his shop.

I'm in WI, about 15 mins south of Green Bay. The tiller has a couple of hours on it....My neighbors most likely think I'm nuts with the time I spend out in the garden, while they are out enjoying the summer in their boats and pools.
I do spray the pumpkins for the yellow "cucumber beetle". I also get some squash bugs, I just try to smoosh the eggs with my fingers when I see them as I don't have a liscense to get the pesticides that are strong enought to kill those.
