Its a big work day in the garden. I picked up the last fertilizers, chicken manure compost and 0-0-50 and need to get them spread. Then it will be on to planting the pumpkins and long gourds. This year we started 2 plants for each hoop house so we can let them grow a while and pick the strongest plant to keep. We have one long gourd plant for each spot with 2 backups in the mini greenhouse. I wanted to get the pumpkins planted 2 days ago, but high temperatures in the upper 40's made me wait. Forecast for the next week looks great. I will be planting sweet corn by the end of the week and tomatoes the following week. Tomatoes are just for eating and canning, not competition. Watermelons aren't starting out to well, but they will go into a hoop house so maybe they will still do better than last year.
