Buried more secondary vines on all 10 plants this mornin. Will leave females on 5 plants from now on beings those 5 have reached lengths over 10 ft. Sprayed for cucs and svb's this mornin and fertilized Tomatos also. Brewed 30 gals of tea since yesterday..will use as drench this afternoon on all kin and Tomato plants. Removed cover from all 69 giant cantaloupe plants and will drench this after noon with 15-30-15. The Lopes are already blooming so about ten plants I'm pinching back and going to let the rest just do their thing like last year. Going to get pics of that Lope Patch and get it on here this afternoon. We got 1/4' of rain yesterday so it recharged all 6 (275 gal)Tanks and the three 55 gal Tanks for me. I figured with a 1/4" rain fall rate both the house, Barn and Chiken Coop collects individually between 137 gal - 156 gal/15 minutes. It rained for a total of 30 minutes so I guess you would actually call that (1/2 inch per hr rain). Thats still pretty darn good but there is alot of sq ft of roof that collects the rain.
