We missed the big rains, up to 13" north west of us. Nothing but sprinkles here. Of course they hit when I was in the patch measuring pumpkins. I found that I made a 10" booboo recording the circumference of the big 1047.5. It is just under 900# now but still gaining 12# a day. The other one is 623# gaining 4.5# a day. We still might get something decent out of them. Biggest watermelon has just about stopped growing, second biggest cooling off in the basement. Nothing to brag about but still personal bests if the hold up. One field bumpkin may make a personal best too. I put out more animal repellant after I saw a deer eating clover just outside the electric fence. I yelled and waved my arms and it just stood there. I bet it won't be that tame when the bow season opens in October.
