We all know that the temperature this fall seemed to have dropped in the blink of an eye. Not only did this drop affect us and make a lot of us sick, but it also killed crops. When people hear fall, most people probably think of Halloween. What comes with Halloween? Pumpkins. Unfortunately, pumpkins are in the category of crops that died from the temperature drop. Pumpkins don’t do well in temperatures under 20F, and since there were multiple days where the temperature got that low and even under that, the pumpkins didn’t do well. Many pumpkin patches are lacking pumpkins that people would want to purchase for their Halloween festivities, many pumpkins are mushy or rotten. Not only is this an issue here, but it’s an issue nationwide. Many people depend on selling a lot of pumpkins for income, but if the pumpkins are unable to grow, or even stay in good condition, what will they do? No one is going to buy a moldy, mushy pumpkin. All we can do is hope that next year the temperature won’t drop so suddenly so that we can go to a pumpkin patch and see a bunch of perfect pumpkins to choose from.
