Weather remains fairly cool for this time of year. Wehave received adequate rains and missed the big storms that have gone by to the north and south.

Jacob and I re-arranged our wind screens and hoed the pumpkins and watermelons. 6 of the 8 pumpkins have sent out main vines that are nearly on the ground. We put soil under them for support and soil on top to hold them down. The last 2 were the late germination on my 841 and the replacement 1004 Mohr. All look healthy. 2 of the vines are growing 90 degrees off from where we want them but they should be easy to turn.

Our electric fence is still shorting out and needs more work. I did fix a couple problem spots, but deer have been getting in the patch. Other garden plants are doing well but we have tremendous weed pressure.
