I did some cultivation around the outside of the wind shelters with the tiller last evening. The carb on the tiller started plugging up and I had a struggle getting it back up to the garage. Carb cleaing is on the schedule for the weekend. Also I will get out the sprayer and use glyphosate to wipe out the rest of the weeds. Hopefully I can get a drench of Merit and Aliette on the AG's this weekend. I will plant the jack o lanterns and decorative gourds and try direct seeding morelong gourds. The tomatoes and peppers will need to be hoed and fertilized. The AG's are slow growing due to the cold weather, but now that it warmed up I hope they will take off.
Mowing and hauling clippings for mulch is on Jacob's agenda for the weekend. The long range forecast looks hot and dry, so we will likely use some more mulch to hold in the moisture and hold down the weeds. We also have to get the electric fence fired up, as I found deer tracks in the patch.
We got a nice rain overnight. The gravel roads in the neighborhood are in terrible muddy condition now. This was the worst spring ever for frost boils. Thankfully our road is scheduled for paving in another year. I just hope they don't screw up the access to my pumpkin patch and timber with the road work. Now I can just drive right off the road and down to the patch.
