I have been scouring the fall clearance sales, getting insecticide, fungicide, worm castings and a few other products for next season. Saved a whole bunch of money compared to regular retail. Soil sample has been sent to the lab for analysis. I am going to leave the vines on the garden this winter and burn them in the spring. But I think I will clear off the spots for the hoop houses and bring in compost and pile it there for the winter. I can spread and till it in next spring, but the area that will have pumpkin roots the longest may get a little extra "goody" leaching into the soil over winter. My knee is almost back to normal and I will be ready to hit the next growing season ready for the long haul.
