Next year's patch preparation is progressing, and I need to speed it up. Yesterday I found out I need knee surgery. Nothing too serious, just bone spurs and maybe some cartilage damage. Doctor said it is best to fix it now so it doesn't get worse. Maybe I can get Jacob to repay some of the patch chores I did for him last year when he had his knee surgeries. Anyway, we will be growing on a higher part of the patch and have that raised up some with some flood channels cut deeper. So maybe we won't get flooded out again.
My pumpkin is still hanging in there with no signs of rot yet. It won't win anything but I still want something to enter so I can support the other growers with my entry fee. Jacob's pumpkin is still growing slowly and getting some color to it. He might even make a new personal best. But just wait until next year; we expect to have something huge growing right here in Anamosa.
