							| One last entry:  Not too proud of anything I accomplished this year, but I did finally figure one thing out.  Burn pits = aborts.  My clever 'ground heating idea' throws the ph off or something...  Ash has a high ph and high salts. The burn pit plants looked ok they grew just as well as the others--as far as leaves and vines--but the pumpkins consistently aborted.  So, no more ash-layered burn pits.  The plants were tough enough for the ash, but the pumpkins weren't.
 The other plants that aborted everything were the ones damaged by moles.
 
 Everyone: Happy holidays, and a very special thanks to:  pnwgpg & pgvg & bp.
