Here's our largest pumpkin this morning. It's starting to get bigger quicker. My wife and I have increased the amount of water overall now. We read where we should be giving the plants 15-20 gallons of water twice a week. Is this true? I would greatly appreciate a confirmation. =]
Our other pumpkins our doing well too, but not picture worthy yet. I need more enthusiasm from them first!!
Our war with the rats continue... However, I've killed four in total now!! I really hope they're getting the message, if not I will continue to put out traps!! Small update on the traps. I have figured out they definitely prefer crunchy peanut butter. When I use it, I catch them. When I don't, they ignore the traps. The old school Victor traps are doing the job. Tonight, I'm adjusting the them to be super sensitive, plus I am going to use LESS bait. I'm tired of these rascals thinking I'm leaving them a free treat!
Also, after talking to a field rep from the vendor of our fence energizer I realized I was causing things to short out significantly. I have a digital tester coming in the mail today to confirm, but some things were just silly and totally my fault. However, just in case I have rewired things and I can't wait to see if my repairs help. Hopefully I'll see some sparks tonight!!
Stay tuned!! I'll be back sooner than later.
