I got 2 more electric fence wires working and added another one on about a fourth of the garden. Good thing because damage continues. One of the bushel gourds grew through the woven temporary fence and a critter ate the end of the main vine off. Something got into the watermelon tunnel and chewed 2 vines off one plant. I sprayed more repellent this evening, hoping something works. I pulled the 2091 Midthun, as the rabbits ate all of the secondaries off the ribbon main vine. The 1239 Witter-Benson next to it has a secondary taking off to replace the main and several more secondaries spreading out. One of the field pumpkin seeds I direct seeded has sprouted. I hope the critters leave it alone. Jacob weeded and mulched the sweet corn and helped me with the watermelons. At least the corn is doing OK.
