I just got done surveying the storm damage. There are a lot of shredded AG leaves but they should pull through. The only vine damage was a huge split on the 2036 ribbon vine. I will train a secondary to take over, but it looks more like the volunteer will take its place. The long gourds didn't fare as well. I lost the end of the vine on the 137.25 and the 129, and the 123 got a split and kink in the main. The 129 has another growing beside it, and the broken one looks like it may rot off close to the ground from the brown fungus. The Companion seems to be helping as I saw no more infected leaves. The watermelons aren't too bad and the field pumpkins were mostly undamaged. It looks like I won't get any green beans: the rabbits are eating them off. I ran 2 little ones out of the patch. I guess I need to hire Elmer Fudd to come over with his shotgun.
