Crawling Taller

Viney is crawling taller. First pic is from June 19, so that's only six days ago. Pretty impressive. Clicking on the second pic shows she's all the way at the top of the frame. A rate of about 3/4-inch per day?



And woah, with all the rain, the veggies, especially the squashes, are exploding.

MAY 17 = Day 0


JUNE 9 = Day 23


JUNE 25 = Day 39


This weekend, I need to get some supports for the tomatoes. They fell over once, and I built up some soil around the bases of their stalks. I guess the squashes, too, need somewhere to go, otherwise they'll be spilling out onto the lawn.

PS
A lady in my office found out the hard way, these bad boys carry Lyme disease: Study finds deer tick numbers up in state. She went for a run on Blackstone Boulevard, right in town. She didn't know why she was getting episodes of pounding headaches and chills and fevers over the course of a weekend, then she found a swollen tick. Ick! Apparently though, she caught it early enough. A regimen of antibiotics should do the trick.
