Well. It rained over 3" last night, still raining this morning. The garden is once more a mucky mess. I don't think we could get a pumpkin out of the garden with anything less than some sort of all terrain vehicle. And besides that, Plump Penny must have heard us talking about cutting her off the vine and presenting her to the State Fair Weighoff. She gained 29 pounds since yesterday morning. Either that, or the rain made her happy. I had a sort of image in my mind yesterday of her taking a deep breath, exhaling, and going into a huge, steady growth spell. Perhaps that's what's happening now. I have everything up on an island of sand, hoping that will keep their undersides dry enough to hang in there till October. The plants which have refused to be fertile are now setting on pumpkins like crazy. since it's so late, and there aren't any giants which they'll interefere with, I'm letting most of them grow, culling only here and there.
