now if I can just find a way (without killing them) to get our family of beavers that live here too. They think they can keep taking more and more of
our land and making bigger and bigger ponds for their mud and stick houses and amusement! The first 5 years here we tried to live as one with the
beaver, afterall he was here first..now it's full on WAR between us and the beavers! Sure they're cute, sure this is their home, but gosh darn it,
they are causing us so many problems, flooding etc........grrrrrrrrrr. ...and it's illegal to trap them, ugh! sorry for the rant...now back to Baja
rodents.....

Aim a speaker at the lodge and crank up "Hey Mister Tambourine Man" Bob Dylan for a couple of days. If it worked on the Taliban, the beavers don't
stand a chance.

Got some "Incredible" variety sweet corn seed (commercial) available, here. Best corn I've ever eaten. Has a commercial fungicide applied to thwart
predators.
Aduana is a bit touchy about seed. Neurotic about seed corn. Since the nearest commercial field corn is 70 miles from here I don't worry about it.
Biting into a traditional elote is like biting into a rubber stamp.
How long does it take for a cucumber seed to sprout down here and for the plant to grow to the point of starting to produce cukes? Can I use a planter
and let the plant spread out over a concrete slab?

I was always under the impression that tomatoes love the heat? I have a friend in Fresno that grows them all summer and they are some of the best
tomatoes I've ever had!

They don't seem to do that well here in the summer. Maybe it's the humidity, but
most of the things in the garden seem to go downhill in August & September. There are also a lot of bugs when it gets hot.

You could be right, it's a dry climate where we are and the tomatoes seem to do better as it heats up. Good luck with your garden!

I found that the plants thrive in our hot summer weather, but the fruit won't set. Most likely because the night time temps often stay in the high
80's.
