Harvesting Family Fun
Josh Wade, Wesley Methum spend summer growing sprawling pumpkin patch on Petaluma Hill Road By Natalie Gray October 25, 2013 12:00 am It’s taken nearly five months and entire summer of working eight hours every Saturday, but best friends Josh Wade, 13, and Wesley Methum, 15, have finally opened their pumpkin patch to the public. Located on Petaluma Hill Road near Crane Canyon Road at Wade’s family home, Eastside Seasonal Farms and Pumpkin Patch, is the fruition of the summer project for Wade and Methum, which actually began in April. Inspiring suggestion Inspired by the suggestion of Wade’s mother and guided by Wade’s father, Rob, the patch was meant to give the friends a work ethic, hands-on experience in the world of small business and an inside look at the world of business management. “I think for the first year it’s gone really well,” said Rob Wade, who worked with the boys from the beginning of the project, planning, organizing and, of course, planting with the boys every Tuesday and Saturday of summer. Now that the patch has opened, the elder Wade helps the boys sell and manage their stock and, maybe more importantly, drives the hay-ride tracker for any visitor or costumer wanting a ride around the patch. “(It teaches) good values for the boys to see what it takes to build a business.” The boys clearly seemed to have learned something from those summer Saturday work days, because their patch is full grown with pumpkins of every shape and color and has developed into a small event area with activities for visitors that has extended past the initial plan of being simply a pumpkin patch. The farm is located off Petaluma Hill Road, just between Rohnert Park and Santa Rosa and opens up to a dusty dirt road that leads you to a stop just before the blue Wade house. The patch stretches nearly the entirety of the property, stuffed with Jarrahdale, Atlantic Giants, Connecticut Fields and every other pumpkin variation imaginable, and is lined with a thin row of corn. Home for goats There is a wooden pen just before the patch, holding three very friendly and very hungry goats, Ranger, Tucker and Rocky, who are always welcoming a few pats or some tasty strands of hay. The boys have also constructed a maze and a tall pyramid of hay to journey through and climb on. There is a bean bag toss and Rob Wade stands at the ready to take anyone around the farm on a hay tracker ride. Wade and Methum also planted a patch of sunflowers, where a duck named Posey spends most of her time sleeping when she’s not eating pellets out of costumers’ hands. Handmade decorations Finally, there is a small stand where you can purchase pre-decorated pumpkins and hats and scarves, some cleverly made to look like pieces of candy corn. All this was handmade by Wade’s and Methum’s little sisters Josie Wade and Allie Methum, who will tell you they also helped with the pumpkin patch by weeding and planting, despite what their bothers might tell you. Eastside Seasonal Farms and Pumpkin Patch officially opened on Sept. 14, when the pumpkins were finally ripe and ready for sale. Though Methum admitted the early opening saw slow business, the patch has welcomed more visitors these past few weeks and the boys anticipate this weekend to be their busiest with Halloween just around the corner. According to Methum, their patch has 1,500 pumpkin plants and he estimates at least two pumpkins to each of those plants. As if the quantity of the pumpkins wasn’t enough, the boys have taken the time to plant a handful of different kinds of the squash to make sure they offer every taste of Halloween. The most popular pumpkin thus far has been the Jarrahdale, a silvery green pumpkin that will give a haunted new look to a jack-o-lantern and is apparently great for cooking. In between planting and selling pumpkins, managing the farm and chasing down the duck, Methum and Wade are back in homeschooled classes. Methum also fits time in for guitar lessons and cross country running and Wade time for football practice. Eastside Seasonal Farms is open Thursday through Sunday with times varying on the day and weather. To learn more about the farm, see their times and like them on Facebook to get coupons for pumpkins, or go to their webpage at eastsideseasonalfarm.com. Blog Source:

Boys plant variety of pumpkins in home patch. Lifelong friends Josh Wade, left, and Wesley Methum are planting a one-and-a-half acre pumpkin patch as a way of creating a bonding experience between the two boys and Wade’s father, Rob. Jane Peleti
http://www.thecommunityvoice.com/archive_article.php?id=6634&article By Natalie Gray June 21, 2013 12:00 am Josh Wade, 13, and Wesley Methum, 14, have known each other forever or so, Methum said in a phone interview. Together, the two long-time friends are taking a unique approach to spending their summer; where most other kids their ages will be taking advantage of their time off from school by relaxing, Wade and Methum are keeping busy by planting a one-and-a-half acre pumpkin patch. “The idea was from my mom,” said Wade, adding that the project was to create a bonding experience between the two boys and Wade’s father, Rob. The idea behind the project was to give the three something to watch, work and care for together over the summer and into the fall. Both Wade and Methum are homeschooled, with Wade taking some classes at the Rincon Valley Christian School. After the summer ends, Wade will be entering the eighth grade, Methum into his freshman year of high school. As Methum suggested, it really would seem the two have known each other forever. According to Wade, their mothers have known each other since college and have kept close as the years went on, shaping a close friendship between their sons. The two boys have spent most of their lives living close to each other, first in Marin County, now in Sonoma, with Wade moving to Santa Rosa, along Petaluma Hill Road, just a year ago. The pumpkin patch is already well under way, having begun in April. The boys and Rob Wade meet at least twice a week on Tuesdays and Saturdays to work on their patch. According to Josh, the hardest part of preparing the patch was creating an extended pipeline drip to water the pumpkins. Most of the pumpkin plants were planted into the field two weeks ago, after the young plants had grown a few inches in seed starting cells. “It’s all looking really cool actually with all the rows,” said Methum. According to Josh, their patch is to have a wide variety of different kinds of pumpkins; their patch is to have jack-o-lantern carving pumpkins, white pumpkins, orange pumpkins and warty and smooth pumpkins. They will also have “Big Max” and “Arctic Giant,” two brands of pumpkins that are known for growing to exceed 100 pounds. Wade and Methum have 1,300 pumpkin plants in all, with only 300 plants still waiting to be replanted from their starter pods to the field. Josh said he was unaware before cultivation of the patch that there were so many different types of pumpkins, but had no problem now listing the many kinds he and his friend planted, including what the pumpkins looked like and where they were from. If the patch is successful enough to allow for another planting next year, Josh and Methum said they would like to extend their harvest to include corn. The pumpkin patch is totally organically grown. Josh and Methum said they have had had a lot of fun with the planting and are excited for the results this fall. The pumpkin patch is located at Wade’s home on Petaluma Hill Road, and it is there the boys plan to set up a stand this fall to sell their pumpkins. The pumpkins are expected to be ripe around late August, early September. For information about the pumpkin patch, go to www.EastsideSeasonalFarm.com.
Hi Rob! Hey John. J: I see your pumpkin field here at Eastside Seasonal Farm and Pumpkin Patch is coming along great. And what’s up with this hay maze? How many hay bales are in there? R: About 140 J: How did you come by the hay bales? R: Andy a local hay farmer provided them. J: That’s cool. Everybody should buy their hay from Andy… How did you figure out the design? R: Winged it. J: Huh. It turned out good. What are some of the construction techniques you used to build the maze? R: We loaded them on a trailer and hand stacked them one at a time. In order to bridge across the front entrance we placed a couple of boards across and placed the bails on top. J: Are you going to charge for the hay maze? R: $2 for children and parents are free. J: How excited is your family about the pumpkin patch business? R: We are getting excited seeing the pumpkins beginning to turn color and mature to a nice variety of sizes including many large pumpkins. J: What are the different kinds of pumpkins you planted? R: We have Jack Be Little decorating pumpkins, Big Max Pumpkins which are a medium to large pumpkin, Jaradails which are a purple warted pumpkin, and an abundance of Connecticut Field pumpkins which are your typical jack o lantern variety. J: Are there any special techniques that you used to plant the pumpkins? R: The pumpkins were started from seed in 6 pack containers. After 2-3 weeks they were transferred and planted in the field which had been prepared by disking and tilling. We are using drip system irrigation for watering regularly. In order to produce large and healthy looking pumpkins we fertilize monthly by using an in line injector on the drip irrigation system. The greatest challenges of growing a pumpkin patch is maintenance and the challenges that come from pests and weed control, but when it’s all said and done it’s worth it when you have an abundance of large round healthy orange pumpkins. J: Did you stagger the planting on purpose? R: Yes we staggered them in order to allow the vines to have more room to spread out. J: When will your pumpkins be ready? R: They should be ready by the 1st of week of September. J: How big will they be? R: Waiting to see for sure, but there are quite a few exceeding 2 feet in diameter. J: Can you eat them? R: Even though we didn’t go completely organic on everything ie bug control, we did not use any weed preventative sprays or use any super growth fertilizer containing harmful steroids. The dosages of both bug spray and fertilizer have been kept to a minimum and in light dosages. The pumpkins are completely edible and the Jaradails are a great baking pumpkin. J: What are your plans for groups? R: Email or call and make an appointment or just show up during business hours. J: Well that’s awesome! Thanks for letting us know how things are going. R: No problem! I hope you see everybody in October! If you have any questions about Eastside Seasonal Farm Pumpkin Patch, please contact Rob Wade at 707-206-9672 or Email him.
