The 137.5 Ansems put on a few inches overnight. The storms aren't here yet, so I got out early and attached it to the top of the trellis with cord and tape, and taped the lower end to a fiberglass electric fence post shoved into the ground. Hopefully that will stop it from swinging if we get wind. But that is only temporary. I dug a hole under it so I can support it better. I will put a screw eye in a 12' 2x4 and tie that to the trellis with the bottom on the ground taped to a post. Then tape the gourd on with electrical tape. I'm just concerned about a very small spot near the blossom end that I will have to wipe off with alcohol or bleach water. Praying and hoping it holds up as it will be my only gourd this year.
