Re: Looking to start growing & harvesting Hay - with a Compact Tractor. Advice please

Okay... here they are!

So far have 26 pumpkin seedlings sprouting up (out of the 300 or so seeds I put in the ground)... every day I have a few more coming. I'm not expecting too much, but this is a fun test to see what'll happen.:dance1:

Yes sir! At least, that's what I paid for LOL, they might end up being turnips. Apparently, these are some fancy heirloom CFP strain from the 1700's. We'll see :confused3:

Check it out we won first prize last year! :laughing:






I'm glad your having fun with it. Pumpkins are probably one of the greatest crops to grow...I've grown plenty. Look at a Rupp's catalog for pumpkins seed sometime. They must have 50 varieties not counting the specialty ones

No, I ended up sticking with the pumpkins (they're easy) and started a landscaping company instead ... one day if we get more property and more animals, I'll look into it again.

I appreciate all the help from this thread tho
