Dang deer fly! I was working in the patch this morning when one of those evil, venomous, flying demons bit me above my eye. (I don't look like this all the time) It isn't painful, it just feels weird and makes my eye water. The swelling will likely be gone by tomorrow afternoon. You would think that I would remember the insect repellant as this happens every year. Anyway the patch is looking good, but we need rain. I'm going to have to set up temporary electric fence around the long gourds because a couple are getting close to the ground and I don't want any critters chewing on them. I'm brewing batches of worm casting tea to try to activate the soil. Submarine got the first shot as it is needing the most help. I keep giving it real low doses of Miracle Grow in warm water to try to green it up without aborting the fruit. So far it seems to be working.
