I need a pumpkin vacation, just a few days away from the pumpkin patch.
I’m worn out. As you can see, the pumpkin plants have long since exploded out of the garden and are invading the lawn. I desperately need a vacation.
However, as you can see, thee is so much to do, and the fruit is growing huge! I can’t just abandon it.
I know! I’m going to advertise for someone to help out for a few days.
Pumpkin Vacation -Help Needed Advertisement
I am going on vacation for a few days. Is anyone out there willing to help tend the pumpkin patch while I am away? It is well maintained. There is only a few things you need to do:
Weed
Water, morning, noon and night.
Bury vines to promote secondary root growth.
Add fertilizers. Liquid and solids, regularly according to a strict schedule.
Prune vines and bury the ends.
Pollinate a few female flowers each morning– very early in the day.
Add fungicides.
Apply insecticides.
Perform surgery on vine borers.
Construct sunshade cover.
Measure growth each day.
Are we having fun yet, hmmmmm!?!
