DONE .... for the day and physically as well. Got waaay too hot, but got to a good point to stop on the fence clearing. I counted the 10-ft sections I’ve done .... 57! That’s 190 yards. Wow - surprised myself. The last 10 sections or so had vines with thorns growing in/on the fence and up into the trees. There was also some poison ivy as well.
5 Trombettas left to use up. My SIL made a squash casserole with one of hers - pretty bland since Trombettas don’t have much taste. We discussed ways to flavor it up & I think the next batch will be delish (the 1st batch wasn’t bad). Tomorrow I think will be the 2nd try at Trombetta bread .... right now, I don’t think I cold hold a spoon if I tried! :-)
You know the saying "What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger."
Of course, I don't think poison ivy is in that category. I found an empty bucket my neighbor left on my doorstep with a note:
"If you have any extra tomatoes or squash, I could use some".. I gave her a 23" cucuzza, and some tomatoes. My tomatoes are slowing down in this blazing TX sun, and something has been biting my cucuzzi squashes. Today I covered them with knee high panty hose..I wonder if that will protect them, or suffocate them. I did a twist tie loosely at the top. I also fetilized everything today, picked SVB eggs off the Trombettas, and injected BTK into the T vines. I did a lot of injections..If any borers I make it into the vines, they should die of a tummy ache. I read the BTK is only good for four days after injection into the vine. Don't know if that's true of not.
Unlike you I took a four hour nap this afternoon when the temps got into the nineties. I am still eating that ratatouille I made the other day with my squash and tomatoes.
