goodbye to time-consuming cultivation forever,

0:21

with Easy Plant Fabric,

0:24

available at shop.moderngrower.co. There's

0:30

a self-serve pumpkin patch,

0:33

and it always looks like, come Halloween,

0:35

they still have a ton of pumpkins

0:38

in the field, yet they no doubt

0:40

solve a bunch of pumpkins. Do

0:43

you have a sense in terms of what

0:46

percentage of the pumpkins grown you're selling?

0:49

I think that's important, because obviously you

0:51

want to over-plant, you want to have

0:53

more than enough pumpkins, and it's probably

0:55

better just to let

0:58

nature compost some pumpkins than it is

1:00

to come up short. So,

1:04

what do you think you're selling in terms of what

1:06

you're growing? Yeah,

1:11

so on our farm, there's

1:13

never been a year that we haven't what

1:16

we would consider selling out of pumpkins, or

1:18

sell out of pumpkins, because at

1:20

the end of the season, like on October

1:23

31st, all of the pumpkins from the field,

1:25

unless they've rotted in the field, which is

1:27

a very small percentage, all of the pumpkins

1:29

from the field are gone onto the stands,

1:31

and at the end of the day, or

1:33

on November 1st, when we start to clean

1:35

them up, there might be like 20, 25

1:38

pumpkins left on the stand, which is good, because you

1:40

don't want to have literally

1:42

zero pumpkins left, because that means we

1:45

could have sold more. So

1:47

if there's a few pumpkins left, that's

1:49

good, but that also means that we've been

1:51

collapsing a few stands, so we'll on those busy

1:53

days at the end, if the smaller stand still

1:56

has a lot of pumpkins, and the bigger stands

1:58

are selling like crazy, we'll get rid
