Ok - So what did I learn? Great question. Consistency is going to be my goal this year along with no *major* changes. I will be doing basically the same things I have been doing but better...

Check my soil moisture rather than set the timer for 10min because it feels right. Measure out my fertilizers rather than using the glug method. Gather, record and react to all information (a diary is a part of this.)

I have landed on growing 3 pumpkins this year. 2 @ 400sf, 1 @ 800sf. I will be going with the 1911, 1984 Barron (Don said this was a better looking plant.), and the 1211 Ailts. Hopefully I can get 2 big pumpkins and 1 big Howard dill winner!

I will also be growing a bushel gourd, long gourd and maybe even another marrow now that they are a GPC thing.
