I finally got the pumpkin patch tilled and seeded 15 hills with 10 varieties of pumpkins and winter squash.
Do you have issues with Squash bugs in your pumpkin patch?
Not a major problem. Every few years something starts eating the plants so I give them a light spray of insecticide. We try not to spray unless absolutely necessary to save the crop.

No insecticides while the plants are blooming . And they are , mostly
male flowers right now but I can see some females forming .
