I'm going to wait and see what the weather does in the next ten days. Then on July first I will decide. My plants have only grown six inches in the last week. If the weather stays the same, Which I have a gut feeling it's going too. Time lost to wet and cold weather you can't play catch up with these Atlantic Giants.I will roto-till under all my oats and pumpkin plants. Then I'll cover the patch with 3-4 inches of year old compost and till it in really good. I'll be planting alfalfa in my old patch that I had winter rye on and i'll let the alfalfa grow for two years. I'm going to plant alfalfa were my pumpkin plants are now also. This way i'll be ahead of the game come next Spring. Plus, I won't have to do anything this fall. I almost forgot, I'll do a soil test first.
