We got around 2" of rain Saturday, leaving us only about 10" short for the year. I am down to 1 AG and Jacob is down to 3 but one has no stump. We might have a couple of pumpkins finally set with about 8 weeks to grow. We might manage something small IF we can keep the rabbits and groundhogs out of the patch. We have a couple long gourds now over 6' long and a few watermelons going. We had to throw out 2 melons that developed black rot on the ends. We got a cover crop planted where we had to pull vines. Going with brassicas for their ability to help fight soil diseases.
