Today I had to fly back to Minneapolis to go to work. This is why we had to do the big till yesterday. It really was a two man job. Although with Gordie�s third man assistance we got the dirt in the patch looking really nice. Thanks dad. Here are the fertilizers and amendments that we are adding to our pumpkin patch based on our soil tests. We believe this will give us the nutrient levels we want. I got up at 6:30 in the morning to go outside and start adding the soil amendments. Jeff and I talked about it the night before. We would both lay down the soil amendments then he would come back later and use the little tiller to get it in the soil and worked in. The little tiller will get down and mix the top 8 inches of soil in the patch. I got up first and moved everything to the back while Jeff got out of bed. We are dedicated to these pumpkins.
