Here are some of the things I've been using in the patch lately. I bought a scuffle hoe and was able to weed my 4 cloches in a matter of 20 minutes. I hooked up this elevated sprinler system today. First try with sprinkler occured when PVC glue was not dry enough and sprinkler head shot off up into the air. Using bamboo sticks to whip, uhm gently guide, vines towards the ground. McKie plant is closest to touchdown followed by Ghaye plant. Spada and Borton plant vines seem to have a mind of their own. Glad cloches are still up as it was very windy today. Did my firsy spray of garlic barrier tonight as I visited my dad's patch tonight and found some Cukes. Didn't see any here and I don't want to. Of course I told him about his problem, I am a good sport you know. While going out to spray garlic barrier, two rabbits hopped away from behind the McKie cloche. The cloches will be fully closed before sunset from now on.
