soil tests

With starting over preparing the new pumpkin patch in such short notice, I may have gotten a lucky break!  The temperatures in the last week have been very warm and we even got some rain.  The snow is gone and very little frost in the ground if any.  This may be my chance to get a jump on things.  On thursday I will be getting some soil samples to send out for testing and take a look at the make up of the soil.  This should give me somewhat of a head start on things.  I don't remember if I told you or not but the area that I am planting in used to be an amature pumpkin patch for jack-o-lantern pumpkins about three years ago.  For the last two years, up until now, has been overgrown with tall grasses and weeds.  As soon as I get some test results back, I will let everyone know the results.  I have decided though, that I would like to grow a giant watermelon plant this year.  If anyone has some good giant watermelon seeds along with some advice for growing them, I would appreciate it.  My e-mail address is below.  Thanks.
