Knee report: all 42 staples are out, just steri-strips now. Finally able to take a shower instead of just sponge baths, Physical therapy isn't bad compared to the pre-surgery pain.

Patch report: Its drying up, even with Jacob watering. Clear skies, low humidity, upper 80's, breeze, no rain in 3 weeks is not what we need. As it looks now, the first pumpkins to stop growing will be the first weighed. 1000# may be out of reach this year. I just want it to cool off before everything cooks. Long gourds stopping in low 90's, but field pumpkins are doing OK. Lots of PM, but they were mulched to save some moisture.
