The autumn season doesn’t officially start until near the end of September. That said, for those of us who live for this time of year, the spirit of the season starts much sooner. This is particularly true for gardeners who want to grow their very own pumpkin patches! In case you weren’t aware, pumpkins can take a bit of time to grow. Depending on the exact kind of seeds you get, it may take 90-120 days. In other words, you’ve got to get started during the summer. While growing pumpkins isn’t considered the most difficult vegetable to grow, that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Lots of time, effort, and love goes into creating the perfect pumpkin patch. Lindsay from Alaska would know. After successfully growing a pumpkin patch in her backyard last year, she tried again… and got over 40 pumpkins! But the beauty of her pumpkin patch extends beyond the vegetables themselves. The entire backyard is a fall wonderland! Watch the video below to see for yourself. @lindsayinalaska Our backyard pumpkin patch (arch). This year I grew over 40 pumpkins again but the real magic is letting my kids pick from their own patch #halloween #pumpkinpatch #gardening #diy #alaska #pumpkins #nostalgia #vintagehalloween #nostalgichalloween ♬ Amas Veritas – Alan Silvestri “What in the Cinderella?! How cute!!” someone wrote in reply to Lindsay’s video. Other commentors added, “Lucky kids! They will always remember how magical this was for them” and “I AM SO DOING THIS NEXT YEAR.” Alaskan Woman’s Backyard Pumpkin Patch Embodies the Coziness of the Fall Season Needless to say, fellow gardeners are dying to know how Lindsay managed to grow such a lovely pumpkin patch. Some of her luck simply has to do with where she lives. For example, some of the most pesky bugs, like vine borers, aren’t found in Alaska. Her biggest advice, however, does apply to everyone: Feed those pumpkins! “Feed them a lot!” Lindsay wrote in reply to a commentor asking for tips. “Unfortunately our growing season is VERY short so I have to feed them a lot and still they don’t get too big. I might get a 25lb pumpkin but never bigger.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
