Our tomato patch will be home to a giant pumpkin next year. I tried growing field pumpkins there in 2018. They grew great but the groundhogs ate them all. This year it grew great tomatoes, but rabbits ate all the beans and cucumbers. It will be surrounded with chicken wire and electric fence. It is kind of a long skinny plot, so it will take some extra pruning and vine training. I got a good shot of compost on it but because it has more clay, it will need more compost in the spring. Weeds were no problem and it got a rye cover crop. I need to knock out the rye early so it doesn't spread the rust fungus to the long gourds.
