saw a strange bug today, it was shaped JUST like a squash bug but it was jet black and the tips of its legs were red. It didnt really look like a squash vine borer but now Im wondering if that could have been what it was. It got away before I could get a better look. I hope the insecticides I used the other day will take care of him! Anyway, I rebuilt the wind break around the 1131 it had out grown what I had. I finally had to just do it and choose my fall plants. Im going with the back ups on both fall plants. I pulled some weeds, hoed some more and cleaned up around the stump area. Im watching for male buds that might bloom at the same time as a female I want to pollinate. I may try to refridgerate some ahead of time just in case. Not having enough blooms is something I didnt concider about only having one early plant. Ok I guess thats all for now :)
