Last summer I planted a strip of pumpkins between my sweetcorn and white clover field. We harvested about 70 pumpkins plus 8 five gallon buckets of decorative gourds.

Never sawevidance of thedeer bothering them much except before harvest when there was teeth marks in a couple. But with sweetcorn, soybeans, winter wheat, and white clover close by, the pumpkins seemed fairly safe.

Plant pumpkins for you not the deer, there are too many other plants the deer like better.
