Pumpkin Harvest 2023! Growing Pumpkins for Market - Sunshine and Flora Cut Flower Farm

It's pumpkin harvest time! While I didn't get quite as many as last year, I will still have a great amount of pumpkins to take to the market with my cut flowers this next week! In this video I share all the varieties that I grew this season!

    I always love the pumpkin harvest video! I want to grow them so badly but they are so big. I wish there were some bush varieties, something a little less viney...I would grow sooooo many different colors! Thank you and I hope the market is the best one yet for you. Enjoy! 😊❤

    Your pumpkins are so beautiful. Last year after watching your pumpkin harvest, I was inspired to try growing some but conservtively only planted One variety and never got any femaile flowers. Hoping to have better luck next year.

    Nice haul! I'd save the seeds from that lone striped pumpkin - maybe you've got something unique. By the way, I could hear everything all the way through. On your corrected audio version of your last video, I still couldn't hear sound after 3:12. I listen through the speakers on my laptop and have never had issues in the past. Don't worry about it, you have enough to do this week! Good luck on the market!

    Ahh been waiting for this pumpkin haul!! LOVE them and your little girl is adorable!! Boy I'm still a little behind in videos...looking ahead to the market. I kn ow you will do great. I'm finished with my market. Hmmm I think if you really like that one pumpkin... you better save the seeds. A roll of the dice though.. maybe it crossed with something else and will be a different pumpkin next yr.?! They will all sell!

    I know it's a year by year thing, but isn't it so frustrating when things don't go like they did the year before? My first year with dahlias was amazing and after year 3, I'm tearing most of them out and sticking with seed dahlias. I can't seem to keep the bugs off and I can't seem to figure out the staking. (Although I do need to stake the seed dahlias, it doesn't feel as daunting and it may be "1st year syndrome," but they didn't suffer from bugs.) I hope your market next week goes great!!

    Yes. Super frustrating. But next year is another year and will probably be totally different! Haha.

    It might be worth looking at the allelopathic properties of sunflowers as the reason for the pumpkin patch being a poor production, rather than shading out.

    I tried to grow pumpkins this year and the squash bugs ate them all. Do you spray for bugs? I'll try again next year, they are just so fun.

    I have never had a problem with squash bugs. I know some people will hand pick them off and also use duct tape to get the eggs off the leaves
