You won't believe this, Magz, but the P-Vine goes into the middle of her squash plants if she suspects a worm and takes a knike (yikes) to the stem and surgically removes them critters and then tapes up where she cut... Grosses me out but she seems to not be bothered one bit about it... But she saves the plants... Its amazing... Truely amazing...

We planted our pole and limas and squash seeds this mornin' and then get the heck off the farm for the afternoon... I mean, we been at it every day for the last teo weeks and just needed a little time away from it all...

Went to Woodstock, Va. (where I graduated high school, Massanutten Military Academy) and had lunch at the Woodstock Cafe... Then stopped at an old timey hardware store and found a nice oscillator for $20!!! It's the kind that broadcasts in a circular otion with 3 aluminum legs... Has a radius of 30 feet... Not bad fir $20... Plus the head is metal and not plastic...
