Well maintained very nice. Hope you crank out some great green squash this season.

Thank you! :) Will do my best, even though most of the patch prep is aiming at optimizing the conditions for 2027, especially the cover crop thing. This year I will include one or two of my own crosses that I had not grown before, checking out their potential...also for 2027. Nonetheless, in spite of the limited space this year, I try to get the most out of the plants, I already broadforked 7 ft into the adjacent meadow (where there is just some grass growing on rather compacted sandy loam), and I will sprinkle some compost across the meadown as well, maybe I can convince the squash plants to also make some good use of some potential root space in the world behind the fence.
