    Adding to my post, I'm not much of a grower, so seeing these post of all you setting up, adapting to and managing your growing seasons is very cool to me.

    Well "The Shan" got her wish the other day and I put in one row of Pumpkins from SEED
    LOL, to be honest, I am hoping the damn creeping things don't make it, but inevitably they will take over the whole garden

    Ours are in raised beds, so when the vines start creeping, they get chucked over the edge on to the lawn. Good excuse not to mow that bit.

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    Once they have creeped as far as 'YOU' would like--maybe you could clip the end of the vines off---

    Maybe this will be of some help:

    Here's the new plot I was dropping compost on. It doesn't look it from this view but it's 300'x50'.

    And here's the other field where we have 2 hoop houses, the nursery cold frame (18'x 20') and the production cold frame (66'x 30').

    Very Nice!

    Now all you need is to find and rebuild a proper manure spreader. We had one that was very similar to this one at the my great grandfather's homestead but it hadn't seen action in many years.

    And also a couple of my apple trees. Again a fun learning experiment and long story behind them.
