First pumpkins of the season
2y 9mon ago by lemmy.world/u/Spacebar in gardening@thegarden.land
Zone 6b here in Rhode Island, and this are the first pumpkins of the season to ripen.
Look at these beautiful things u helped the earth make :,) they’re great, thanks for sharing.
After this year I’m done with pumpkins. Love them but holy hell squash bug invasion. Went on vacation and came back to a full blow infestation. It’s taken all the joy out of it. Hoping a hiatus will get rid of them.
Look great btw.
Squash bugs are the WORST - try companion planting with nasturtiums or marigolds next season, they're natural repellents and i've had way less problems since adding them around my squash patch.
