							| 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. |  |  |
