Oh I bet that is so exciting mate your most welcome to come and hang out in our little n big gardens till then soak up all the info . Od .
Hey welcome to the back yard mate looking good it can only get better from here . Regards Od .
Just realized that I didn't mention TomatoesBeyond Heavy Rain, flooding since Sunday afternoon, supposed to clear Thursday, so Thursday will be the first copper spraying to stop any possible septoria issues, also no sign of early blight but the copper won't hurt that either, I hope they can hold off the molds and mildews until then
It's about time for a spritzing anyway, I was slow last year and had quite a battle with late blight and I would guess some septoria as well but I'm not positive the blight kind of took over everything at one point
read online last year that the Northeast is having quite a time with blight, don't have any reason to think this year will be different so that's my plan. I reckon I'll feed Friday morning instead of Sunday morning because of all the rain, they're getting a tablespoon of 20-20-20 once a week, will add in bloom nutes around the beginning of September here
once in that whole post!! LOL ..the whole game plan laid out, and no idea what the game was?! 
cayenn pepper works for the rabbits as well but it sure dont work to keep my chickens outta the flower bed
When you really have to worry about the cantaloupes is when they start to give off an odor that attracts mice as well as other rodents sometimes they'll literally naw a hole right in through the side and eat away... Congratulations on your first cantaloupe... there's no comparison to the ones you grow versus the ones you buy in the grocery store except the ones you know are often smaller, but not always..Got me a cantaloupe on a vine! First one I've ever grown! It's the only one so far and I'm really thinking about standing guard over it with a 12 gauge for any vermin rippers trying to steal it.
