Father's Day I took a little time off from the patch. My son, brother, a few good friends,their sons & I went on a overnight camping trip with our Jeeps. It was great fun-I have good friends and they have great kids. Coming home I found a new friend in the patch - a gargoyle to ward off all the evil bugs and disease which affect pumpkins. We still need some sun. I watered with a compost tea I brewed over the last few days, not many weeds in the patch yet.This last batch of tea didn't froth up so I've eased-up on adding steer manure and am sticking with worm castings, compost & molasses. My corn seems to love the tea - it has really perked up. Coming up we'll look at some additional growing tips - for now we'll pray for sun.
