Last year the SVB's didn't bother the trombone. Is it possible that the weeds that grew up through all those vines hid the stems?
After so much dry weather we've been having good rain lately, four of the last eight days producing 6.8". We'll take it! I still want to reapply the kaolin paste on the summer squash once we hit a dry spell. Meanwhile, Sevin is being used around the bases...until it gets washed off!
