Due to time and health reasons I have had to get rid of two of my five patches. So from 7500 sq ft to 4500 sq ft. So everything is compacter and I should have a bit more time to keep everything under control. And the normal vegetable garden and field pumpkin patch got smaller too.

I would like to break the beet and squash WR. This year I missed the beet record by 1/2 pound and I really need to get that WR squash back!
