More rain today. I covered vines as best I could yesterday. After a hint from a fellow grower, I used plastic clothes hangers broken in half to stake down some of the vines, in case we get high winds, I think this will help. The two last seeds I planted Tuesday are breaking through this morning. They will probably be the last best chance for a real pumpkin, and they're only 1 day old. I need to start setting pumpkins about July 1.

So far we've got no hail in this series, and no high winds. But more rain. It's predicted to stop this afternoon and not rain again until September!
