This entry is out of order; it should have been posted before the previous one, but somehow didn't go through.
Rain, rain, go away! It rained .1 on Sunday, another .8 on Tuesday. Tuesday night I put inverted 5-gallon buckets over them to protect them from hail again. Here it is Thursday, and more rain in the forecast! Yesterday we were forecasted to get t-storms. Here in this neck of the prairie, that most assuredly gives a chance of hail. So,we made half-hoops out of 1/2" hailscreen like little quonset huts, and covered the pumpkins inside their chicken-wire rabbit-proof circles. I know that we'll be begging for rain in July and August, but right now we could stand a break in this weather pattern. Somebody reminded me that if it rains on Easter Sunday, weather lore says it will rain on the next 6 Sundays. Four down, two more to go...They're really growing fast, most of them would not fit under the 5-gallon bucket today.
