King - Re: Fall Garden + Update

Date: Friday, 9-8-17, at 7:12 a.m.
Took down 2/3 of veggie garden yesterday = 1 potted tomato and 1 cuke on the deck. Low yields this season but no coon damage.
Mrs. Capt has had sunflowers of all types on deck and in yard w/ mixed success. 4 sources. Last years seeds, chipmunk planted seeds, son started seeds and bird planted seeds. Last years saved seeds pretty sad as only grow to 3 ft., probably were hybrids and never know what seeds will produce. Son started ones up to 8 ft. w/ multiple (up to 12) side flowers.
Home maintenance surveys, w/ mandatory compliance required, completed 4 weeks ago by this Capt's committee finally in homeowners mail late yesterday. Expect "weeping and gnashing of teeth" to begin today.
Major drought continues here at the homestead as any rains in area over last 9 weeks have missed.
New cable TV supplier digging in lines in front of all homes. Have had at least 2 gas lines cut w/i the 1st 3 days and that's just the first 15 homes...212 more to dig.
Cook out (probably in) w/ Mrs. Capt's grade/high school girlfriends and hubbies tonight. Got lost last time goin out there:):)
LA trip packin continues. Fishin gear and clam baker ready.
