September Garden Tour Part 3, Fall Garden Patch

[@maureenmccrackin6933]

A local farmer had a lovely field of sunflowers . He invited the public to come and take 'selfies' with them for a small fee. It was hugely popular. It could be a source of income for the farmer, or for a charity.

Maureen McCrackin that’s a great idea! That would be fun to do!

[@deepasharma3317]

Your garden always looks awesome and sunflowers are looking too good and your daughters are really super cute and intelligent👍👩‍🌾👩‍🎓

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Rise and Shine thanks! Yes there are always fails but just have to try again another way and don’t let it get us down!

[@aileenc7390]

Awe! I planted some pumpkins with our grand kids but didn't have any either! Thanks for taking us through the farm. I could see the love you put into it! Maybe next year I will be better. Sayla and Lana are the cutest lil pumpkins ever!

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Aileen C Aww thank you for that!! Yes they are the cutest little pumpkins! We do put lots of love into everything!

[@CottageGardensonForest]

Squash bugs are so bad! We had bad squash vine bores as well. I removed the bad leaves and with treatment they’ve rebounded. I’m sure the rain showers and any humidity attributed to the powdery mildew. The place is beautiful!

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Tawana Jeffries don’t like those squash bugs! I’m glad to hear yours rebounded!

[@maureencabrera7029]

How beautiful. Wish I could experience having a land to grow seeds and be amazed at the miracles it is producing.

[@sandyoliver8464]

Looks like a field of dreams!!

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Sandy Oliver it sure does, we love it!

[@lauradaniel7596]

Pumpkins..... leave, learn & try again. God always has a lesson in each of our failures. A failure is only a failure if you fail to try again.

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Laura Daniel Thank you so much! You are definitely right, God always has a lesson, great advice!

[@melvinaroundy4647]

I sprinkle diatomaceous earth on my plants and leaves for squash bugs. I pick them and have a little bucket with water . Then put the bugs in & drown squash bugs They hate water.. your sun flowers are beautiful 🌻

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Melvina Roundy thank you! That is great info!!

[@heatherbright7214]

From my understanding pumpkins are heavy feeders and very sun hungry. I think the sunflowers made to much shade and prevented good airflow which gave you the powdery mildew. I have tried growing pumpkins and gourds for years with mixed success. I have had problems with it all, squash bugs, vine borers, powder mildew, finally start producing to late in the season. I have been told to mix in lots of compost and fertilizer in every mound and only plant 2 to 3 seeds in each and only keep the strongest plant. I am going to try again soon but I have to find something that kills squash bugs before I do. Those bugs are destroying my garden each year. Can never stay on top of them.

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Heather Smith Thank you for your feedback and tips. We have been growing them for the past five years. Every year has never been a great year in the spot. That’s why we tried sunflowers here just for something new. We feel ultimately it’s just the location of the garden. We try to keep it more organic, but we do have a farmer that farms the surrounding field. This garden gets all of that run off. it’s also the most wet area of the field. We truly just need a new location for our pumpkins. We might have to dig up part of our backyard to have a successful patch.👍

[@shawnamuschamp8972]

Gotta love him for killing those squash bugs!

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Shawna Muschamp that’s right!!😂

[@tulipgb5328]

Sorry to hear your pumpkins got attacked with mildew will u spray them next year? Do you have snakes in your area. It's one of my phobias 😱 I dont have a compost heap because I'm scared of slow worms 🤨 !! The fields still look gorgeous the sunflowers are amazing. Spring to look forward to now & your new poly tunnel 😍 Love from across the pond to you & yours x

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

tulip GB yes we will Definitely spray for that. Yes the sunflowers do look amazing!! We are getting really close to completing the greenhouse!
