My Top Ten Things To Do Next Year! 1. build a better cold frame with lights to warm the soil 2. bring in some cow shit 3. soil test 4. take it a little easyer with the bug sprays in the beging. 5.water more. 6.use a little more fert 7.use wood for walk ways 8.install a better watering system 9.polleniate A.S.A.P 10.Get a horse shoe!!!!!!!! This year has been a bad one and it just got even worse I thinke my only pumpkin is starting to rot on the bottom side about 2" off the ground and it is starting to split in one of the deeper dillrings.

It was nice today so i pulled the rest of the plant, pulled the weeds. looks odd to walk out back and not see the pumpkin anymore. plan on adding two moer feet to it later this fall bring me 532 squar feet. Its now ready for the fall soil test, it will be the first one i have had done. can't wait to see what soil test has to say. does any one know a good place to have one done around me.
