Not that the weather has straightened out, the rabbits are attacking. They ate off s small female blossom about 7' out on the 1068 Papez. The nipped one secondary on the 1068 and a couple on the best of the Privitera plants. Groundhogs are showing up again, but I need to improve my aim. So far I have only scared them off temporarily. Jacob and I did a lot of weed control, and I put on some fertilizer. I wanted to keep fertilizer to a minimum and rely on the manure I applied last fall, but all of the rain and weeds changed my mind. I hope it cools off, as we finally have some females at a decent distance from the stump ready to pollinate in a couple of days.
