Fewer Pumpkins This Year??

The summer drought that beset many parts of the United States continues to echo as we veer into fall. The latest bad news comes from the pumpkin patches of Indiana, where the crop is reported from nonexistent to spotty. As goes Indiana, so goes much of the Midwest.
We saw a big patch with the mournful sign "No Pumpkins This Year Due to Drought" while out on a country drive this year. Also, friends who can usually grow grass on sidewalks also reported that most of their pumpkins never made it past the blossom, and those that did are pretty sorry-lookin'.
