Thanks Ruby doing pretty well except for being eaten up by mosquitos ...gotta be at least 50 bites. Plys blisters and cuts and bruises...all in a day's work lol
At around 630 - 7 I use "off" religiously if I'm out or don't have it around we run for the house. I keep a can of it in my backpack like hair sprsy in a purse. Lol Damn things are thick. I still have a bunch of bites from forgetting to use it when the bite time comes. Lol

Same here on the Deep Woods Off early in the day but it's not from skeeters, it's these biting ass deer flies we have here. Think of a miniature horse fly drawing blood with every bite and imagine 20 of the bastards all over you. Yeah I take a bath in the stuff every hour as the oppressive humidity keeps the sweat rolling and the Deet washed off. The flies let you know when it's time haha.

Lol .
Seems like there are a lot of things that bite,crawl and stick in your socks out here. When I first got up here it was tick season . Found three of them that latched on. The dog up here that runs in the bushes had a bunch of them til we got him some medicine.
Do you have a pic of a deer fly ?There is a fly out here at a certain time of day mostly in the bush that fucking bites hard . Kinda like orange black medium house fly looking thing but just looks like it bites. Well it does. Lol

They look a lot like a housefly. Ours have a black band on the wing.

The tiny deer ticks and chiggers are another bunch of mfers around here too. I cover my clothing with permethrin anytime I'm going to be in grass or weeds over a foot or so.

Oh how I have faced just about every hurdle up here. From bugs in the garden to PM to poor germ rates and cold snaps slowing shit down to a huge test of patients.
If I'm up here next year I have learned not to take anything for granted and start seed earlier.
It must be helpful to start seed in sac where it's warmer earlier in the year. I was taking seed flats in and out of the house every three days in mid May because of rain and cold snaps.

Hang in there fumble and kick some butt !
