The last 2 pumpkins from the prizewinners patch are at the Cowichan Exhibition. We will clear as much of the chickweed as we can, give the area a good raking and get ahead on the cover crop in that area. While I’m ant it, I’m taking soil samples from each quadrant inside the patch for analysis. Andrea promised that she won’t disturb said cover crop when she goes back in to harvest dahlias, and to dig the tubers out before winter. We will stockpile 15 yards of premium compost for the spring and for mixing with peat moss 50-50 and use for covering and burying vines next year. I find the compost we buy is still pretty hot, (the do a custom blend for me) and it’s better for use the next year.
