I was worried that my season was done.   Thursday, July 19 View Page It healed up nicely. These plants sure can take some damage.   Thursday, July 19 View Page The pumpkin is DAP 8. Not where I would like to be, but at least I have one set. The high temps during pollination time made a few of them abort. I have to wonder if it is behind a bit due to the Anthesis spray?   Thursday, July 19 View Page First cucumber plant.   Thursday, July 19 View Page Second cucumber plant that was planted 2 weeks after the first one.   Thursday, July 19 View Page I have a garden buddy helping out. I have had a praying mantis show up in the garden every year since I was younger. Amazing to me that it happens.   Thursday, July 19 View Page Best of the sunflower plants.   Thursday, July 19 View Page I won some paprika seeds in an auction. This was the biggest pepper on one of them. I will keep it until a better one shows up.   Friday, July 27 View Page Was out in the patch today, and noticed the stump was foaming.   Friday, July 27 View Page I scraped the outside mush off, and decided to cut it open. Water gushed out for a minute or so. I cut until I saw no more foam, or brown mush.   Friday, July 27 View Page Sprayed it with a peroxide solution, and wiped it away after a few. Did that several times. After that I sprayed with a bleach solution, and wiped it away after a bit. Did that twice.   Friday, July 27 View Page Then I packed it with some paper towels for an hour.   Friday, July 27 View Page All dry. Just in case I ran a fan on it for a few hours. I moved it every half hour to make sure that it was all dry.   Friday, July 27 View Page Then I painted it with a Captan paste. I took my time to make sure that I got it into every nook and cranny. Then I put the fan on it to help speed up the drying.   Friday, July 27 View Page The main issue I seem to be having is that there is water pooling at the bottom of the stump. I have never seen inside one before so I don't know if this is normal or not? Not sure if I should cut more so that it drains?   Friday, July 27 View Page I put some plastic bottles over the cut to keep the rain out. I then put a table over the stump to help with that.   Friday, July 27 View Page Just an updated picture of the paprika pepper.   Friday, July 27 View Page The pumpkin is at DAP 16 today. Not where I would like to be at this time. Like I mentioned in an earlier post I have to wonder if this is due to the Anthesis or not? I also am concerned that I might lose the plant, because of the foaming stump. I have the vines buried well. If I lose the stump hopefully they can take over.
