Saw a groundhog near the garden today. I made sure all grass and weeds are off the electric fence and sprayed fox urine. The little fiend will learn that Iowa has a continuous open season on his kind. I mowed around his den and mowed down the flood-flattened Indian corn so I can get a clear shot. Field pumpkin and long gourds are pollinating. Moths have to do the job on the gourds. I have a ditch under the trellis and it still is a little too soft for a ladder. Survivor has a good one going on the main, but the stem wants to run right on top of the main. I may have to end the main at the pumpkin. I wanted to let the main grow because of all of the flood damage. I can wait a few days to see if another fruit looks better.
