I'm probably going to start harvesting pumpkins next weekend. They're supposed to take 100 days from emergence to harvest and at 83 days from planting most of them have already turned orange. Not good, but it is what is.
I got after the sweet corn yesterday. Harvested the whole patch - ~400 row/ft. Filled five bushel tubs. Got that all shucked and cleaned and into the refrigerator. My task for this week will be cutting, packing and freezing all of it. I still need to dig up the potatoes, just haven't been able to muster the will to do it.
I'm continuing to gain on closing up the pond. I've packed about four feet of dirt into the cut so far, and have about that much left to go. I'm taking clay out of the basin for that. Nasty, tight, hard, clay that hasn't seen the light of day since forever. It's tough to dig, but it packs good and turns to concrete when it dries out. Should make for a good re-core job.
I got a little too deep into the seep hole with Nanner a few days ago and needed a tow to get out. It was a minor aggravation, and there was no damage done aside from snapping the tow strap in two.
