#evelynandhenryspumpkins are growing! We tried something different this year. Seeded winter rye last fall and then rolled it flat and no-till planted the pumpkins on June 7.

These practices help lessen soil erosion, conserve moisture, naturally suppress weed growth and provide a straw mat for the pumpkins to grow on top leading to better quality pumpkins and a healthy soil! #nortrorollingacres #pumpkinpatch #covercrops #notillfarming #familyfarm
