Neighbor roto tilled the main area of my patch area today. I would have had him do more but there are areas that have big tree roots and lots of rocks in the ground. I didn't want him to wreck his roto tiller otherwise he would never do it for me again. It cost me 1 field pumpkin at Halloween time and refill his roto tiller gas tank. Afterwards he had to make his garden bigger than my patch area. He likes to compete against me in everything even though I don't ask him to. This year he's going to lose big time when it comes to pumpkins, watermelons, and tomatoes. It will blow him away when I show him the giant tomatoes I will be growing for the Gale Woods tomato competition.

I am waiting for my soil report so I can add amendments. I am planning on May 1 to start the 2118, 2002, 1836, and 1526 seeds. I have an 1807 squash and another set of 2002, 1836, and 1526 seeds to start if my economy greenhouses fail. I will probably start my 1201 around May 15 since it is going to be my pollinator plant for the 2002, 1836, and 1526.
