I think I lost several pints of blood today while trying to talk my garden into behaving. The cucumbers are joining black bean families and the pumpkins are VERY big social climbers that enjoy entertaining the tomatoes and reaching across the "walkway" to the "left" side of the garden over the cucumbers where the winter squash and sweet corn are. Its a tangled mess of vines you could get lost in . While your lost in this jungle wonderland the huge new crop of vampire insects drain you of your lifeblood.
I chose NOT to pick the ripening tomatoes or even attempt to weed or police the border crossings....just 5 minutes and a huge cloud of voracious mosquitoes had covered me. I read that the mosquito traps that generally trap about 150 females are now trapping 2,220 and up. That is a significant increase for sure and I am thinking I need to invest in a bee suit. Or wait to garden until winter.....sigh.........
