Saw the first 2 bugs of the season, a squash bug and an adult squash vine borer as I was spraying Merit. The electric fence shorted out and a ground hog had gotten in. Ate must of the growing buds on a bushel gourd, ate some parts of the long gourds. It snipped off another watermelon vine but didn't eat that. I sprayed more repellent, found one spot where a wire was on the ground but it still is shorted out. Usually I can hear it snapping, but not now. I found a groundhog by the fence, but he took off before I could get good aim with my revolver. I hope the gunshot at least scared him off.
