One of the great things about heirloom pumpkin seeds is you can save the seeds and they grow the same as the pumpkin they came from. In this way, seeds travel all over the world to find new homes on new continents. #delaware #familyfarm #farmlife #pumpkins #growyourfood

More fruit trees? Yes, because we need to replace the old ones and expand particular crops by planting new ones. Our customers love our persimmons as much as we do, so more trees have been planted. #farmlife #familyfarm #delaware #communitysupportedagriculture #garden

Are there any peanuts in this pumpkin? No! It’s just a nickname given because of the bumpy appearance. The Galeux d’Eysines is notable for its unique appearance that looks as if it’s covered by peanut shells. #delaware #garden #familyfarm #farmlife

Does flowering kale actually Flower? Yes, but not until the spring. In the meantime, it provides a great accent of color in the winter garden. The leaves are edible, which means deer and rabbits might nibble on them as well. #delaware #familyfarm #farmlife #garden #growyourfood

When is fig season here in Delaware? We started with a few in late June and now these trees are finally producing in early October. This is all dependent on their winter protection and the winter weather. Keeps us guessing every time. #farmlife #familyfarm #delaware #figs #garden

How to keep squirrels from eating your pumpkins? 1. Use a hot pepper spray. Some squirrels seem to like spicy food, so this does not work on them. 2. Use a barrier, such as a row cover or sheet. Cover each night, weigh the ends down, so it doesn’t blow away. #farmlife #familyfarm #delaware

You need to be careful even with organic sprays. Just because something is natural does not mean there are no consequences. Peppermint oil sounds benign, but it can have serious effects. #familyfarm #farmlife #delaware #garden

The growing zone number gives you how cold it can get in winter. This is important for your perennial trees, shrubs, and flowers. You also need to know how hot does it get in the summer, what is the level of humidity as well as the rainfall. #delaware #familyfarm #garden #farmlife #growyourfood

As the summer progresses, there are more bugs. It becomes even more important to have a diversity of crops to reduce the pest pressure as much as possible. Yes, I do feel as if I am constantly at war with the insect population. #growyourfood #farmlife #familyfarm #delaware #biodiversity
