We had nice break in the weather, with a nice rain on Friday, sprinkles on Saturday, cooler temps and a break from the scorching sun. Today the oven is going back on. We MIGHT have one AG pollination that has started, if it doesn't abort in the heat. The plants are getting big so I am afraid of blowing up late pollinations. It looks like we arrested the disease problem on one of Jacob's 866's. We each have one good looking watermelon and one misshapen watermelon going now, and 2 long gourds have started growing. Hopefully we can salvage a little of this season if nothing else goes wrong. I have to work hard to get as many chores done as I can in the next week. On the 24th I have a minor surgery scheduled for my right hand, so I will be limited on what I can do for a few weeks after that.
