It rained most of the day Friday, and all morning Saturday. Friday evening we saw the last remnants of a huge snowdrift in a road ditch about 20 miles to the north. Saturday afternoon was windy and started drying. Sunday morning was cool with a little frost on the windshield of the van. It warmed up, sunny and light breeze. The patch is still too wet to work, but might be OK in a couple of days if the weather holds. The pumpkins will get started this evening. We can't wait any longer. Hopefully we will avoid the problems we have had with spring frosts and pumpkins maturing too soon. Now we just need to get the soil dried out to help with the disease problems.
