All loaded for Bloomfield; long gourd, field pumpkin, bushel gourd and watermelon for both me and Jacob. I am sure glad that Jacob is such a big strong guy. He can handle the heavy lifting that I used to do. We are saving our biggest and my only Atlantic giant for the Ryan Norlin Memorial Weigh-off the following week. But we have some respectable entries this week, including a personal best watermelon.

We just have to hope the rabbits don't eat things up in the next week. They started to hit the field pumpkins. The electric fence is hot, it has knocked me for a loop a couple times in the past 2 weeks. Rabbits run right through between pulses. Next year we will have to put chicken wire around the entire garden, with 2 low electric wires on the outside to shock the rabbits when they try to squeeze under the chicken wire.
