Fall is in the air and pumpkins are in the field! We had hoped to open our pumpkin patch to the public this year. Unfortunately, just before harvest, we experienced a significant loss due to deer. We have learned the hard way that deer love to eat pumpkins! Next year, we'll be using fencing to protect the crop.

Although we don't have enough pumpkins for a "pick-your-own" patch, we have harvested a good number of beautiful pumpkins. We are working with our neighbors to create a pumpkin stand where locals can drive by and purchase large, medium and small pumpkins. Stay tuned for more info on the stand location.

We hosted Trouts Unlimited on May 12th for a fishing rodeo on our lake. Smiles and fish everywhere!

We set out seed a few days ago to make sure that the pumpkins will be ready to go for October 1st. Thrilled to see variety "Mellow Yellow" has sprouted! Yes, this little seedling will turn into a yellow pumpkin. We have planted several varieties and colors including "Duchess", a beautiful and traditional orange pumpkin.

This month we began the first planting of Butters' Pumpkin Patch! The patch is in a beautiful field overlooking our lake. Our friend, Kalen came with his tractor and made all the planting rows.

Researching pumpkin varieties that grow well in Georgia. We're thinking "Magic Lantern" for carving pumpkins and "Mystic" for baking and cooking. Such a beautiful orange! One of my favorite colors.
