Jason Ekers Rocky Knob Farm

Jason Ekers Rocky Knob Farm

We are a small farm in Prichard WV. We raise vegetables every year along with 10 acres of sweet corn. We raise Hogs and Chickens to. We have been producing videos for kids in schools to learn about agriculture. As early spring rounds the corner we will have many different videos from plowing,discin , tilling and planting. My wife Tab nephews Tanner and Farmer Finn myself do most of the work. Stay tuned and thanks for watching

    I'm in SC, and have nice black soil bottom land.I have grown just about everything successfully, except pumpkins. I've tried about 3 times, they will look great sometimes small pumpkins, and then dead. Just down the road my grandmother who was mostly Cherokee, rented a dilapidated old house and I remember years ago, she had pumpkins, that place has since fallen down, it was only about half a mile from my place. I just planted some eating type pumpkins musquee de provence, for fall crop, I remembered my grandmother's pumpkins were ready in the fall. Maybe I will have better success this time planting late.

    I think heating the can on a pole with the torch to help make the holes is a brilliant idea. It saves time in the process, and as the saying goes, "work smarter, not harder". Wonderful seeing all that green you have there. It is snowing here again in NY. Good luck and happy planting.
