Two surprises today. The first was the first blossom (male) to open on a pumpkin vine The second was that there are new striped cucumber beetles and squash bugs on the pumpkins this morning. They didn't seem to be dying, either, but rather planning on reproducing by their activities! It's been almost two weeks since I put down Merit, so I put down more Merit, watered it in (we needed the moisture anyway). If they're still around tonight, I'll sprinkle on the Sevin. I think I'll use spray on them tomorrow if it rains tonight. I started two more seeds on Friday but they haven't sprouted yet; this is an experiment to see how late I can plant and make a pumpkin. 88 degrees this afternoon It got up to about 94 yesterday. The pumpkins love it so far. I think they won't like it without moisture, but my soil is still nice and damp underneath.
