Finally a sunny day. It was unclear whether the fields would be dry enough to do anything though. I had another inch in the rain gauge. This is the pumpkin patch that I planted a couple weeks ago. Only 1/3 of the patch planted - no time or weather to do the rest (yet).
I was pressed for time so I rototilled the previous plantings - no time to hoe the rows.
This row was just a week old.
The other 2/3 of the plot had a bloom of weeds and hadn't been planted yet. Although I had previously disked and nicely smoothed it, I decided to just disk it again. No time for smoothing etc.
I got 4 more rows planted before I ran out of time. I'm down to planting varieties that only take 90 days but you never know when the rain is going to just stop.
Tractor news - the John Deere ran great for the disking. The Kubota appears to be fixed but I haven't had time to bush-hog with it to be sure. Final answer - replace the fuel lines from tank to filter and from filter to injector pump. Bush-hogging is going to be a test since everything is about hip-high.
I guess there's a reason that the manual says to replace fuel lines every two years. Mine made it 15 years.
Some items of interest.
