Starting a Garden

I realize there are probably some other gardening threads around here but I didn't want to sift through them in order to find an answer to a more specific question so I apologize. I have a roughly 80'x15' spot in my back yard that previously was a garden several home owners ago. It's raised slightly with some landscaping timbers about 5 to 6". It got completely overgrown with weeds along with other plants that someone had put in there at some time. I can't identify what was exactly was in there but it wasn't anything that was at all pleasing to the eye but I know it was just standard yard weeds. I sprinkled a little gas around in there and lit the thing up knowing that is likely the best way to get rid of all that and minimize regrowth of unwanted plants. I realize that may have been my first mistake but it is what it is. What I'm wondering is what and how much I need to till into the soil for maximum plant growth. I plan to plan cucumbers, zucinni, several different vairieties of tomatoes both large and small, green beans and maybe take a 4th of it and section it off for a small stawberry bed. Any and all good advice would be more than welcome. TIA

Smartwatches and golf

A couple things. I have a Gear S3 and play a lot of golf.

First thing, what golf app do you use that gives you fairly accurate yardage?

Second thing, and this is the biggest pain for me. I use my phone to play music while playing, hooked up to a bluetooth speaker. The issue that I have is that as soon as I leave my bag/phone to go putt, my watch drops connection with my phone and for whatever reason Pandora stops even though the bluetooth speaker is still connected. Is there a setting or an app that I can use to prevent this from happening so that I don't have to shut off my bluetooth on my watch in effect killing my opportunity to use a golf app on the watch.

Bridget Carleton wins Cheryl Miller Award & WBCA All-American

Iowa State women's basketball senior Bridget Carleton caps her historic season with two of the highest distinctions Women's College Basketball has to offer. The Chatham, Ontario native was named the 2019 Cheryl Miller Award winner, which honors the best small forward in NCAA Division I. Upon earning the award, Carleton is also named to the Naismith Starting 5.

Carleton also was named to the 10-member WBCA Coaches All-America Team. She becomes the first Iowa State women's basketball player to earn either distinction. She is also just the second student-athlete to earn the Cheryl Miller Award, joining UConn's Gabby Williams, who was the inaugural recipient.

Bono

Anyone else hearing the rumor that Bono is going to be fired from other boards? Sounds like it is from recruiting violations, which wouldn't shock me. Also wonder if this could lead Wick to transfer (although he originally went to Wisconsin for Barry, so he might be there for the school and not coach). But, if he does decide to transfer, I know a school that could really use a 165 lber....

Question on Atlantis Tournament

Welp, this thing is looking less attractive day by day. Hopefully we can bring in two new studs and get them integrated with the team on the Italy trip so that we don't lay an egg at this tourney.

Question for anyone in the know - Tickets are sold for all 12 games. Three days, four games per day.

Are there sessions, or does each game follow the previous with 30 minute break? Are there opportunities to sell your ticket/session to other fans for games that ISU is not playing in? Or is there one ticket for each day, and you lose out if you leave the arena area for games you don't care about.

TIA
