Bad news and good news in our patch yesterday. 3 straight days of high winds broke off Jacob's 839.5, so that one won't get a test this year. But his 1451 Scherber that we had all but given up on due to beetle attacks started growing again. So we dug it up and replaced the broken plant. He had a backup 866.5 growing close to the 1451 that is looking great. Our competition field pumpkins for Anamosa Pumpkinfest are germinating, and we will each have 3. The long gourds are doing well for a change as are a couple of our watermelons. Some rabbits are living on borrowed time. I replaced 8 tomatoes that they ate off and each one was eaten off again. If the repellants don't work, we may have to take more serious steps to eliminate the problem. And we are finally getting RAIN. the first decent rain of May on the last day of the month!! Today is setting a record, the first time ever that the last day of May is the coldest day of the month.
