I applied the last of the micorhizzae/beneficial bacteria/organic fertilizer mix last evening. Working in the patch is nearly intolerable with the heat and humidity. And it doesn't help that our AC has died. We have a problem with our electric fence and we have to get that fixed before the critters start munching on our pumpkins. It looks like we have keepers on the 1351 Trumm, 1209 Courson and 1674 Marsh. I just hope the heat doesn't make them abort. We are sprinkling them at least twice per day to keep them going. At least some of the wildlife are cooperating. I have a huge army of toads and baby toads that have appeared to eat the bugs. The herons flying back and forth from their nesting colony in the state park routinely fertilize the patch as they fly over. And a pair of red tail hawks nested in our neighbors tree and have been picking off mice and rabbits. I just haven't seen too much of them since last weeks bad wind storm. I hope the young ones have fledged and that their nest wasn't wrecked.
