When crops sneak up on you

You ever turn around and realize those pumpkins are way bigger than you expected? Last week, I was just checking the rows and nearly tripped over one! It’s like they’re trying to play hide and seek… Anyone else had the surprise of the season with their crops?

And i can totally relate! Last season, I found a zucchini that must’ve grown a foot overnight. They really do get sneaky.

Totally! I found a pumpkin the other day that was practically hiding behind my tomato plants. It’s like they team up to ambush us! Do you ever think about getting a better trellis system to make things more manageable, @leo_davids83?
