Part I
This is my first crack at a list of what to do differently next year.

1.)have soil ammendments done to meet all the recommendations from my soil test, see how much kelp meal, gypsum, greensand will be appropriate
2.)Use myco - pumpkin pro
3.)get straw and use as mulch around vines as they grow
4.)Start seeds a month earlier; that way the fruits won't hit what should be their peak growth during the hottest month when heat stress is too high
5.)decrease distance between drip tape from 18" to 15"; right now doesn't seem like moisture is spreading enough laterally even under the surface.
