LanTerra Update. Twix Left 36.5" on D12. Sad cull day. Twix Right is still on a side vine was cut off from the main with only one growth node rooted. Was 36" also on D12. A very tough choice this year to get down to one fruit.

Too much rain. Yesterday 1-1/2" then another 2-3/4" this morning. Makes 8.25" in last six days. The 3 French drains protecting the patch backed up a bit but removed all the water quickly

Beginning another round of LAB reinoculation in the patch again this week.
Yeast sugar drench blend is going on the maters today.
Have plenty of Kavayanna Azos and other bios to use up.
So the end of the week another spread of granular MG organic may be the last application needed.
The bug battle has continued. Squash bugs are out in Windsor now. Have seen a few Bright Red Vine borers flying about in Sarnia. Japanese beetles traps are set out. Cuc beetles they have not let up yet.
