The Precious, part 2
Last year I tried to grow pumpkins. I tilled up rows and planted one hundred plants. I spent so much time out there that my wife nick named the pumpkin patch "The Precious", from the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Unfortunately, I ended up with an infestation of leaf rollers that I couldn't get rid of no matter how hard I tried. Before it was over they had completely destroyed every leaf on every single plant. It was quite depressing.
This year, I decided to scale it down a little and try again. I 'm only planting twenty plants and I have them in a much more controlled area. Now if I can only keep the leaf rollers under control.
