Oregon Update (Flooding)

Greetings all,
Today we recieved roughly 1 inch of rain and it is not even 8 in the morning
yet.  Yesterday we had a high of 36 degrees with rain/ snow and ice pelets.
Hey its beautiful pumpkin growing weather.  Anyway, my humor bug isn't working
yet, and I doubt that it will even wake up today knowing I need a snorkle to
breathe outside while I am spreading manure over the patch.  I have logged 127
man hours so far in 1999 in the patch, keeping track for curiousity sakes.
Here is the low down, and you might be a redneck Jedi if you ever used the
force to load a giant pumpkin.....
Site Zero...  Lookin good.  It has a nice layer of manure on it in uniform
depth.  All this site needs is a sprinkler and a few last soil ammendments to
come in March as well as a truck load of potting soil.
Site #1...  Looking good, needs only Truck of potting soil and final
ammendments.
Site #2...  The next site to get its poop dispersed evenly.  It also needs a
truck load of potting soil, and final ammendments.
Site #3,4,5... Ditto to site #2.  
Site #6...  Ready to go except for March soil ammendments.
Site #7...  Ditto to #6.
Site #P-1...  Manure is spread, still needs potting soil, and late
ammendments.
Site #P-2...  Manure is spread, but it still has a nagging stump in it, needs
potting soil, and ammendments.
Overall, the patch is coming along nicely.  I am a little behind last year,
but with less spring time work to do I feel no rush.  I have been thinking
about installing a sprinkle for the pollinator sites, but will give that some
time to develope in the head.  Seed trade is going well, but I am still in
need of a #946.5 Geerts, #975 Zehr, and now a #940 Mombert 98, and a #865
Mettler 98.  If anyone can help me out with those seeds email me privately for
arrangements.
Take care all,
Brett  The Pumpkinguru  Hester
