I've always wanted to grow pumpkins, big, small, huge, gourds..whatever pumpkins. This is my first pumpkin patch and I was so proud at how they were growing until the other day I went out to look at them. Almost all were torn into by something. I think its either crows or wild turkeys..how do I keep them from destroying the whole garden? Help Please..

Try stringing up some pie pans. Birds can not stand for reflecting light. Place a piece of cloth over the pumpkins it won't hurt them. I grow atlantic giants so I have learned a few things over the years. One thing I have tried is to tie a string through old cds (aol has provided me with several dozens of cds through the mail). Tie them up so the can spin in the wind, reflecting light everywhere. You could go as far as buying a dummy owl to set up in your garden. That would keep away other critters as well.

Flashlight taped to a shotgun. Wait in camo clothes. Kill the buggers.
Works everytime.

theres a few ways to do so, you mite be able to fence in, but can also become costly, try fencing off with string and bells noise makers are the best

A fishing net.
Drape it over your garden area.
