Thankfully we got some good rain last two days. After 2.2 inches of rain (I think it was a record for this year) soil is moist and soft like a butter. I had to dig some of this butter after a surgery I did on pumkin vines. I had to cut and open several stems to take out squash vine borers out, nasty white worms which eat plants from the inside. They just chew on it from a bottom up. So after picking bugs I covered open cuts with some soil. Maybe the pumpkins will survive, who knows. I really hope so.

Good thing is that while digging I found some good worms in our soil, those which people use for fishing. This is a sign of a normal life comming back to this land we farm. I found more good worms later while weeding parsley. And there was even more waterworld today, a frog, which stopped while crossing a path dividing cabbage from broccoli. It tried to look dirty to make sure I wouldn’t notice it in the dirt. Maybe it went deer hunting? Or to scare some raccoons?
