Quality Produce for the Pittsburgh Area
"Normally I plant pumpkins by seed. But last spring the crows tore the field out, so I had to start them in the greenhouse and then into the field.

That's the key."

Second Generation Growers Man Discovers Adequate Liming
In the spring of 2010 I bought 500 tons of high calcium lime and decided to spread it on some rented land with a poor soil test.
