Wish I had that luxury, but our season is so short that it either all goes in, or there wouldn't time for anything to mature. Exception is the peas, potatoes, and other root crops that go in a few weeks before it's warm enough for the rest. Irrigating is a foregone assumption, as our dry season starts 2-3 weeks after the June hail storms end.
Down to 26-28 by morning, so the curing pumpkins got brought in tonight, the last of the harvest.
I broadcast a couple of pounds of 10-10-10 on the former corn patch and spaded it in for Garlic planting yesterday. The soil had compost last spring and is oh so Offy poffy and is still damp from our early rains. It is 12’X12’ and I may add to that depending what varieties I plant in the next few days. The Cinderella Pumpkins are still growing and turning from yellow to orange. The newest compost pile peaked at 155 degrees Sunday and I may have to start a third one soon unless these collapse from the cooking process.
