Very nice set-up! I would love to be able to plant our pumpkins that way.

We get our seeds from Harris. We planted "Mystic Plus", "Magic Wand", "Gladiator" and "Super Herc" all treated for powdery mildew resistance; 250 each. All were 110 to 115 days. We also planted ornamental corn. We started gourds but not one of them came up...?

I just checked our plants last night and it looks like we have some cucumber beetles already...several plants had holes chewed in them. Do you have problems with them? If so, how do you treat them? We usually spray the plants with Sevin when we see them.
