- Inga Witscher: Back at Ken and Jay's,
the weeds are under control, the pumpkins are thriving,
and we talked more about their journey as farmers.
I know on my farm,
I'm so grateful to have my husband there
to help me and work side-by-side with me.
What is that like for you two?
You always get along, I imagine.
- We do. - Inga: Oh, good.
- I'll let you speak. [Inga laughs]
- Oh, I guess I don't even think about it.
We are a team, definitely.
We both have our things that we're the best at, I guess.
I mean, Ken is really good at planning.
I'm good at implementing.
He's good at directing, I'm good at following.
It is definitely a team effort.
- I think we need to plant.
- Well, let's just see.
We're always learning stuff.
I think that's part of the fun too, and the interest.
It's always something different.
This way, this way.
- We're very, very good work partners,
and we work well together, and it's been complementary.
And I'm sure as you know,
you couldn't do it alone. - No.
- You have to have a partner. - Yeah.
- This, it's a lot. - Yeah.
- And we're just very fortunate.
It's easy for us.
- So you've started the transplants then inside,
you've brought them out here to plant them,
laid the mulch down.
And now you just kick back with a martini and just wait?
[laughing] - Oh, well, this year,
so far, we've had drought.
So we've had to irrigate.
And usually, we look at irrigation
as just something to bridge us over to the inevitable rains,
but they haven't happened.
So we have irrigated three times
and we're just using a big 300-gallon tank.
Drag it along, let gravity water them.
[water splashing]
Also surprisingly, pumpkins, or the plant itself,
it's really built to collect moisture.
- Inga: Really?
- Every morning, there's a lot of dew.
They have these great big leaves,
and you notice it all funnels into the central, the petiole,
that takes it down to the stem.
So that dew will collect on the leaf,
flow down right to the center of the plant.
So it will gather some moisture on its own.
- Inga: Nature is amazing.
