The damaged pumpkins seem to be doing OK after I staked them down before yesterday's rains. Everyone who told me that these guys have remarkable powers of recover were apparently right! Some of them are so damaged that it's hard to tell which part is the main vine now, so I'm just gonna wing it.
The way the grass and weeds are growing, if it hadn't been for the hail, these guys would probably be 50 feet long by now! And no way to get into the garden because of the mud. Maybe it's a good thing the hail pruned them back. Maybe.
Yesterday: 1" of rain plus 0.5" of rain plus 0.2" of rain. I cannot enter the garden today for chance of being sucked down by quickmud. A person might mire down and never return.
Forecast for this afternoon: Possibility of scattered thunderstorms, some of them may be severe (again???).
Forecast for the next 10 days: Sunny, with highs in the upper 90's, lows in the mid-70's.
I'll be watering the garden by Thursday.
My two last seeds are up. One looks more lively than the other. I'll plant them as soon as they get their first true leaf. Maybe all the heat will be good for them???
There isn't much soil remaining on the top of my garden! All of it seems to have migrated to the lower end of the garden, creating silt drifts of some magnitude. Maybe that's where I should plant the new pumpkins.
Lots of maybees.
