   I completed my first gardening project for 2020 this morning; I tilled the old   
   pumpkin patch. It was a tough job, as our garden is on a slight slope from   
   front to back and the tiller wheels kept slipping on the damp topsoil, meaning   
   that I had to help    
   push the heavy tiller up the hill. Of course, going back down was a bit easier   
   as gravity was helping on those runs.     
      
   We have three sections in our garden, each about 25 feet across and 30 feet   
   deep. From left to right, for the past several years, we had 1, the pumpkin   
   patch, 2, Vegetable Left, and 3, Vegetable Right. My wife is going to move the   
   garden cloth path    
   covers from the adjacent section, Vegetable Left, to the pumpkin patch and   
   wanted the weeds tilled under before she did. I'll get the center section as   
   the pumpkin patch for a few years. We want to see if the crop rotation has any   
   impact on the yield.
