Things just aren't going to plan. It has been too windy to spray my weeds. so I tried to start up the push mower to knock them down. The cable on the safety shutoff handle snapped. So I had to do what I could with the rider. My bushel and long gourds and field pumpkins were ready to plant yesterday, but we had a big storm coming. It was a little muddy today, but the next 2 days are supposed to be rainy too. So I set them in the ground.

Then I thought my knee surgery was supposed to be 3 days after the last weigh-off, I figured wrong and its 4 days before Harvest Bash. Maybe someone will cancel and I can get it done earlier.

But not all is bad. We missed the winds that blew down trees in town. The plants will get a few cloudy days to prevent early sunburn. Bugs haven't showed up yet; I hope I didn't just jinx myself.
