LanTerra Update > Stormy around here the last week or so. Night storms raged for three nights in a row. Several hours of sleep were lost due to the nightly light shows. It is pretty hard to sleep with severe thunder storms rolling about your patch at night.
The plants here are doing fine by average date standards. The 752* Landry 07 is completely out of its hoop house and the 1055* Pitura is just covered on the top part of the hoops. The 998 Pukos is in fine shape but a small problem developed when the main decided to run to west instead of the east. It is finally turned right now after a week of slight movements and staking.
Cucumber beetles and Squash bugs are here already and they have been dispatched to the grave yard with a quick spray of Ambush.
Rototiller is broken so I will need another option before the large vine burring begins. In years past I would hand turn the ground with a jabbing motion only lifting a thin slice from the top layer of soil. Its a lot of work but I've done it before.
