We had a storm come through early this evening. I got out and made another Merit application on the pumpkins so the rain would water it in. I go with smaller applications and follow the plants out as they grow. They also need another shot of garlic to keep the cucumber beetles out.

The long gourds are starting to get some leaf problems starting at the bottom. We had a little of this last year. So I gave them an Aliette root drench before the rain. They will get sprayed with Daconil when we have a couple of dry days in the forecast so it doesn't get washed right off.
