Last night I dug a hole under the 2 longest gourds. If I hadn't one would have been touching the ground this morning. I guess we either have to deepen the entire ditch under the trellis or re-design the trellis for next year. Field and giant pumpkins are still growing well but we need rain. We were supposed to get some last night and today but the storms just fizzled out 25 miles to the west. One did that last week too. I guess we just have to keep up the watering. The Weenie watermelons have finally started setting fruit, and the rabbits found the vines. They chewed off a couple growing tips and hit a fairytale pumpkin vine too. So yesterday Jacob and I set out rags soaked with fox urine to scare them off and electric wires to fry the little pests if the urine doesn't work.
