The garden is really wet, but it is dry in the hoop houses. I rolled back the plastic on the watermelon hoop, hoed out the weeds and put down the weed fabric. I pinned it down with wire staples, added some compost and then a thin layer of wood mulch. The area outside the hoops has not been tilled yet, so I could work without messing anything up. The watermelons are looking better than ever at this time of the year.

Tomorrow, Jacob and I will set out the long and bushel gourds. And we need to put the field pumpkin seedlings into bigger pots. Roots are coming through the 5" peat pots already. I hope to get some photos tomorrow.
