Upon closer inspection I was shocked to see the insane number of summer squash and zucchinni roots. There were some also coming from the giant watermelons. I was shocked to see how far the roots travel. The melon stumps were easily 8-10' away and the squash were probably 4' from the eroded channel. Prior to the heavy rains this soil had been very dry. I had no idea that roots would venture so far especially in dry soil. I raked some soil back over the exposed roots to hopefully keep the air and sun from "root pruning" them. Still waiting for that sun, though.
