Well, there you go -- GREAT job. 
And to think that a few weeks ago you were lamenting about knowing nothing & failure in that garden. Things are growing well there.
Keep up the good work!
Sorry about last week -- some things happen. The good news is that the bottle your wife ran over was wormer & not the spirits. Sounds like you needed the spirits more than the chickens the wormer.

So this is the squash and zucchini row. The squash are the front two. It seems the leaves and stems are so heavy that they break away at the plant. But they are producting well

So here are the vines. A bit ovrr crowded. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
Up front we have cucumbers for pickling, Second we have cantaloupe and last there are 2 watermelon vines. The watermelon hasnt taken off as well as the others but its doing on. We have bean sized watermelon attached to the flowers.

Got started on the rabbit ventilation system today. Thats a blower from a central heat and air system. It moves ALOT of air. The hutch is 16 feet long and i mounted one on the other end as well. It makes a really good breeze in low speed across the whole hutch. I dont think i will need the second one until we hit 100°f.
Heres the cover i made for it. Just an old evaporator coil case that will keep the rain off the electric motor. It draws air in the open bottom which is screened with hardware cloth to keep little fingures out of the blower and wiring.
