Start of the bushel gourd patch. It is at the bottom of a slope, and has accumulated soil washed down on it for years. This hasn't been plowed up for the 32 years we have owned the acreage, and it may have been in grass for decades before that. I first hit the sod with the mini tiller, turn it over with the fork, and till it again. I put 1 cubic foot of potting soil at each plant site. I got the potting soil on clearance for about $0.75 a bag at the end of 2016. The closest hoop house is in a risky spot. If we get too much rain it could get flooded. It will be our attempt at a blossom down pumpkin.
