Beat the weather window today! Soil cores have officially been pulled and are heading to Western Labs in Idaho tomorrow morning to get an exact read on the native dirt. I also managed to get the clear plastic pinned down over the patch footprint. The goal here is twofold: shed the upcoming spring moisture and trap the solar heat to accelerate the thaw. I'm on a really tight schedule between now and seed-starting, so I'm doing everything possible to ensure this ground is dry, warm, and ready for tilling by early April. The 2026 season is officially underway!
