AAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anything but the PUMPKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Irene hit some Sussex County farms hard

…Yet to be determined is the effect of the flooding fields on the pumpkin crop.

Freeborn said if the field dries out quickly, it’s possible the pumpkins will recover and won’t rot. She said there is just too much acreage to turn the still-growing pumpkins by hand.

“But farming is a community. We might be competitors (at farmstands) but we will share product to sell,” she said.

Charles Kuperus of Kuperus Farmside Gardens & Florist in Sussex Borough said he will be among those seeking pumpkins from other growers, as his acre of developing orange gourds was wiped out.

Oh, the humanity!
