What did you do in the garden today?

Local meteorologists have been screaming doom porn since last week about the weather today and tomorrow. They were originally calling for 4-6" of rain, flash flooding, etc. Yesterday they "dialed it back" to 3-5". It was supposed to start around 7 AM this morning. It's now 6:30 pm and we've not seen a drop all day.... 😑
Wow...idk how it can be wrong so much...or does it really just change that fast!?
 
No but I did see a YT video other day where you can wrap a comfrey leaf around the base of squash plants and it keeps some critter (cant remember which one) from boring into the plant!
Vine borer. I have used foil, panty hose, flower tape. They are BRUTAL by me, and I now cover my squash and zucchini until the female flowers come out. If I don’t they are all dead in a few days.

Has anyone ever had vine borers attack their pickling cucumbers? These are the only curcubits I have growing where a VB can get to them...

I don’t think they usually go for cucumbers…but if it’s the only thing available? Like last year when I covered my brassicas so the cabbage moth (green caterpillars) couldn’t get to them they went for the nasturtiums of all things!
 
Ok stupid question for today...
I seeded my okra, zucchini, and cilantro in seed trays so I can let em grow til I figure out where I'm gonna put em lol.
Since it is so hot now i sat it on the deck for the sun to heat it up.
Now do I put the dome over it like ya would inside seeding or not necessary?
I haven't had luck with the chamomile I seeded outdoors, nor the coleus...so thought I'd better ask cuz that the only thing I did differently.
