warm day and fertilizer

Well, it's a warm day in Kansas, 73 degrees at 2:30 in the afternoon.  It's brought out the craziness in the two of us.  My husband, who's delayed two years to put up a bird feeder in the yard, got excited about my goal to grow the first 1,000# pumpkin in Kansas, and has just finished putting 12,500 gallons (he says it's only 7,500 gallons, but I can count, too) of liquid manure on my 1/4 acre pumpkin patch.  Warm days in Kansas bring out the weirdo in all of us.  All I did was get my seed out and fondle them a little.  Calculated how big an area I was going to need.  He got out the tractor and the manure.  The wind is wafting in from the southwest, toward the house.  Ahhh, the joys of country living.

Good luck to you all.  I think it's going to take about a million gallons of water when the temperature gets to 105 in August.  

My biggest thing until today was starting a worm compost bin in the computer room.  This is really big.

 cheers,
duchess of gladstone
