Dry conditions in Natick over the summer may have left pumpkins a little smaller than usual. Some farmers have had to choose what crops to water, and which to leave unwatered. One farm ran out of water near the end of August and turned to city water at a cost of nearly $3,000 daily to keep watering their apples.
