Took down the mini shelters today on the four melon plants. I had an idea on how to construct a better wind break than last year. I'm utilizing some hay feeders that won't be used until next winter. A little plastic pallet wrap and presto, a wind break. When they get close to outgrowing them I have some corral panels that I can do the same thing with and move them as I please. I'm just not sure how well the plastic will hold up. The AG plants close to the grass are still in pots. These are just bait plants. I've already seen spotted cuke beetles here. Last year my plants picked up a couple of squash bugs early while setting them out just for sun. Maybe this year I can kill them before they cause problems on the real plants. No rush to start the main plants. Lots of crabgrass and pigweed already starting to germinate. Let it! I want to till and kill again so I'll wait a while.
