2.5" of rain in just a couple hours Tuesday evening really beat down the soil, but all plants are doing well. It is just getting dry enough to work in the patch again. I got all of the hoops weeded and vented for the warm weather. They are mainly up now for wind protection. I set out the field pumpkins today. 4 long gourd plants are growing well, and 2 more have germinated. I have room in the patch for just one, but I have a spot where I can let one grow up a tree. Foxtail is coming in like crazy where I didn't have rye cover crop, but cover crop areas that were tilled up are fairly weed free.
