Heat and little rain caused the pumpkins at a Graves County farm to be smaller than usual, while other pumpkins were not growing at all. Typically, the vines would produce two to three cuttings, but not this year. There would also usually be many more leaves, but the weather caused the leaves to drop off, allowing the pumpkins to be sunburned.
