The soil is soft and crumbly, a clay mixture for sure, but previous owners had horses back there so between the horse manure that broke down and the woods decay of leaves and such it is ok soil without ammending.
I figure I can plant pumpkins out there easily as they kinda ramble and take over without much work. Probably corn too, I was thinking potatoes, but I am not sure how easy they will do.
Do you have any recommendations on what breaks new ground the best?

Personally I would simply roll out the mulch and plant my seedlings. Couldn't be easier.
Similar to this, but instead of in sod, it is in newly cleared forest. Red Baron Project
