Hello everyone, I have been reading and enjoying your diaries.

I filed soaked and planted two 779 fredricks 09's with my kids last night. I planted them directly in the best part of the patch under a small wire hoop house I have been using for vegetable gardening. I hope to raise an AG plant and pumpkin to a reasonable level of maturity this year.

The weeds grew back after plowing a few months ago. Hating life out there since it has to be hand weeded due to crab grass infestation. NEVER AGAIN will that patch of dirt be left idle and uncovered in the rainy season. The patch is also more compacted in areas than I thought it would be given the tonnage of horse poo and compost buried in there over the last year. I am going to add more compost in front of the hoped for plant growth and turn the dirt some more.
