It's official, the 294 Blalock is dead. Alex's 825 squash is barely hanging on. We planted another 825 for him as a backup back in May and we were going to put it in earlier, but it has been too wet. So, it went in on the 14th. Otherwise, it was in the compost bin. So we decided to just go for it. It's rootbound, but it's not dead....yet. We also started a few more 825s for him today. He's only 5, so if he only pulls 50-100lbs, he'll be happy.

Unfortunately, the ground is soaked and the forecast is for more rain. It just keeps coming and coming. The 1725 Harp is slowly growing, but it is too wet to bury the vines. Andrew's plants are slow as well. UGH!
