It sounds workable but the feed impedance is pretty high.
You might match 20 meter operation with a quarter wave feeder.
You could also mount a 20 meter ground plane at 7 feet off the ground.

I wish I could, The reason the coax con come across is that it goes
directly to the house, the radials would have to be spread out over
the common-area property. I can bury the radials, but not the coax.
The mower folk will run over it without thinking if it is on the
ground, but the radials can be carried out of the way.
