Scouting Late Summer Crops I Disease Problems I Blown Down Tomatoes

[@MikeEdwards-pc4qf]

I know the feeling!!! I am about ready to throw in the towel too!! Ever since the pumpkin meeting I saw you at we’ve had about 10 inches of rain!! had to try to make a crop of pumpkins in the rain now we’re trying to sell a crop of pumpkins in the rain not working too good

Probably my children... that's funny. Cucmber beetles were a menace for me this year. I'm hoping for a bitter cold winter this year. Store looks great, thanks for sharing.

I noticed on a prior video that you were installing 2 lines of drip for cut off strawberry plants. I am strawberry plug planter and really don't have adequate water to overhead bare root. I wondered if you or you know anyone who had has success with dripping in cut offs. I also have concerns of a mid October planting date. I am about 100 miles east of you and 50 miles North, ( probably close to same weather zone). Thanks , you really do a great job with both the farm and channel.

Mums look wonderful. I'm giving up on the melons ,cool at beginning of aug in Ma and they where done as usual. Got a dozen melons not great tasting. Pumpkins faded also but produced much faster.

Enjoyed your video. If it's possible, I would like to request a pumpkin devoted video. Scouting, spraying , picking, and planting of the larger fields/ different varieties, "if old footage was saved ".. I have noticed many more varieties of pumpkins at your store on display , than what I knew you grew .. Your pumpkin fields appear weed free, here in South Western PA we experienced the worst drought in nearly 40 years . Our fields are full of weeds and small fruit, I believe the rain never came to incorporate herbicide .. You would think with the dry weather, all produce would have a great Market this year? I would assume everyone down your way has the game changer irrigation wet lines ?

We’ve moved to silver plastic on fall greens on our farm. The plant burn up has gone way down like you see in those lettuce. The white plastic on a summer day is hot to the touch but the silver is cool and saves a lot of those plants.

@@demetriusmill5336 I'm going to do a trial on tomatoes next year with reflective mulch for thrip suppression. May give it a try on late leafy greens also thx.

I’m in the same boat on the 2 sets of pumpkins but I’m in Illinois we had great rain July then shut off we got one inch early September then had a second set really late

[@calebboulds]

Can I ask a question on pumpkin I had them doing some weird stuff The leaves look snake skin have you ever seen that

[@juha7830]

Hope everything is ok down there

[@CherryHillFarm]

@@juha7830 we're making it. Folks in the mountains got the worst of it

I grew my first crop of pumpkins this year with know how from your videos. Thank you for sharing. I opened my pumpkin stand on September 1. I had 800 or so pumpkins. I am down to 59 this morning and what I have left is scraps. I’m thinking that if I had a good stock now would be peak selling time. Just out of curiosity when do you think your biggest week for pumpkin sales will be this year?

[@CherryHillFarm]

@@chrispeebles3846 pumpkin sales have been super slow this year. I hope the best is yet to come. Thank you for the kind words and supporting my channel.

What is your secret for heirloom tomatoes? We have a terrible time with cracking. Thanks

[@CherryHillFarm]

@@heatherhuard pray for good weather... We throw a lot down in the field that are split also.

[@heatherhuard]

@@CherryHillFarm Guess we are doing it right then, lots of prayers go up each year mostly on deaf ears lol. I might need to make some sacrifices to Mother Nature!? You pulled that perfect Cherokee Purple and I was in awe!

[@robinstanfield1699]

How much would you sell 100 gallons of strawberries for next spring we will buy some

[@CherryHillFarm]

@@robinstanfield1699 we'll have to see if we have any first 😅

[@MikeEdwards-pc4qf]

How did y’all make out from the storm?

[@CherryHillFarm]

@@MikeEdwards-pc4qf not too bad we're a whole lot better off than the folks in the mountains.

[@mariefradette7220]

What weed barrier do you use?

[@CherryHillFarm]

@@mariefradette7220 the plastic mulch? I'm not sure who the manufacturer is, if that's what you're asking. I use 1 mil on the black plastic and 1.25 mil on the white on black. Thanks for watching!
