I am going to do a grower diary this year. This will be my second year growing. I live in Galt,California. I have many new goals this year. My first goal is have a better plan of fertilization. Last year I really did not do any fertilizing and was just focused on watering and trying to make it to the end of the season. It worked out pretty well but I know that my pumpkin did not reach its full potential. This will be my first year using mycorrhizae.

Here's what I planted for cover crop this year. Planted in August and tilled in march. I wanted to till in January but it was way to muddy! Not sure if I did that right need to learn more about the whole cover crop thing, but I felt good about it

I started to plant the cover crop. I bought the 50 pound bag of mix. I also bought a few pounds of each seed just to see an experiment.
