A lot can happen in five days. I've been up, down, up, down. I was hit a couple of days ago with squash bugs. I've done everything imaginable. I've dusted with Sevin, sprayed with Malathion, and sprayed again with Triazicide. I pollinated another flower two days ago, we'll see if it sticks. The first one shriveled and died away, poor thing...

I'm watering more heavily now, we got about 3/4" of rain last night, too. Hoping to be able to pollinate two more flowers tonight. Not much worry about bees pollinating for me--I've killed every bug for twenty miles around except for the damned squash bugs.
