Glad to see your wife is doing well after the medical issues earlier this year. Pumpkin patch looks good too!

Solar electric fence would work! That might be next years upgrade. So far the deer have stayed out. |

Deer love pumpkins. I hunted near a field where the farmer left a lot of pumpkins to rot. They were not the best candidates for carving I guess, so not worth hauling out of the field. Anyway, the deer get into them and eat from the inside out, scraping with their front teeth until there's nothing left but the thin outer skin.
If you have some leftovers, you might want to bring them a distance from the garden so the deer won't be tempted.

Some folks eat the blooms when they start coming on… personally I have never ate any. |

Cut the stem and pollination things out of the center wash and dry dip in egg then flour and fry. Mom would make them. Tastes like fried egg and flour.

They Re loaded with blooms. I saw several baby pumpkins and gourds growing.
