4 plants went into the patch this evening. All 3 Privitera plants and the 1068 Papez. We put up low plastic wind screens for protection. I have to remember to sprinkle some garlic powder on them tomorrow morning to ward off the dreaded cucumber beetles. Then I have to get the electric fence finished. I hope we are safe from frost: Cedar Rapids TV says 44 degrees and Waterloo says 42. We will probably hit 30 to 40.

We also got our long gourd trellis assembled. We hope to give Petersen & Carlson from Clinton good competiton with the gourds this year. We have a new planting site with better sunlight and much better soil.
