after the rain

  mixed up my chemical cocktail to attempt to tame the weeds in the patch ....and a few creepy crawly creatures (black/yellow beetles)
 
 
my 5:45 am commute to the patch this morning.  foggy and dewy and it looked like frost with the sunrise.   me and a couple of rabbits were the only creatures moving

 the weeds.  ugh ...
my other tools.  soon to be attacked by the garden house ...
 
after yesterday's deluge of rain, I went up and hand weeded the watermelon side of the patch -- too wet to "hoe" but the weeds pulled easily.  Came home and mixed up my chemicals and this morning at sunrise -- went up and sprayed out 5 gallons of "drugs".   2 hours later I was wet and muddy ... ditched my shoes and drove to McD's for breakfast -- gotta love a good drive thru!
 
As soon as the dew dries ... I'll dash up and dust the squash for bugs.  I did not see many thru the weeding/spraying excursions but with all the weeds, they are there!
 
I still haven't unpacked the truck from Friday night.....
