Thank you, Linda! I'm still very new to gardening, so it's really nice to receive compliments! The bed we have our pumpkin in was loaded up with top soil and A LOT of rabbit manure and straw. I'm thinking the nitrogen level may be what's negatively affecting the corn as last season we got a nice crop, but it was in the raised bed.... First time growing pumpkins, so we'll see how they do. I was thinking about cutting down the corn stalks after harvest (if any), but after your experience, I might be better to let them be? I don't know.... I'm thinking the pumpkins need the room and the water... I'll probably chop them and put up a shade if needed.
Thanks again for touring the garden with me!!
