Rain AGAIN Tuesday morning. Where my patch isn't a soupy swamp it is packed hard by the heavy rains. My drainage ditches are being tested, and they are helping some. I have never seen pumpkins growing so slowly. I guess the rain has leached out most of the nitrogen. If I get home from work before the rain tomorrow, I may sprinkle some water soluable fertilizer around the plants to give them a jump start. I might put a little Merit around them to get watered in by the rain. Garlic repellant, surface sprays and dusts are worthless when they get washed off every other day, or sometimes 6 days in a row. My main fear is that the next heavy rain on super saturated ground will flood the creek and wipe everything out totally. Still, I have to be thankful. We haven't been hit nearly as bad as some other towns in Iowa.
