Finally getting a decent weather forecast. I might move up my seed start by a day or two, but I don't want to get too anxious. With no heating cables in the soil I'm at the mercy of the temperatures. I got the sulfur, manganese, and copper applied, along with a good shot of 10-10-10. I applied the 10-10-10 to get the recommended phosphorus, and will be plenty high in potassium. Soil test recommendations say we will need a little more nitrogen, so that will get split applied. Jacob will be getting the rest of the old long gourd vines off the trellis and helping me turn the soil for the new field pumpkin and bushel gourd plots. He is also planting a garden for home vegetable consumption. It won't be long and I will be seeding the mustard and strip tilling where the sweet corn will be planted.
