Last evening I found that the cucumber beetles have wiped out the remaining long gourds. I started new seeds directly in the patch to see if we can still get one to grow this year. A few beetles were coming back on the pumpkins and watermelons too. All of the patch got sprayed with Bayer Advanced lawn & garden insecticide and dusted with permethrin and garlic. The pumpkins got a drench of Aliette also. They will get a shot of Merit tonight If I can take the heat. Forecast is for low 90's with heat index around 100, and warmer tomorrow. Sure is a quick change from 3 weeks ago when we had 3 consecutive mornings with frost. With the soil finally starting to dry out, I can start brewing up some compost tea and adding the Biota Max and extreme blend. The past 3 years it has been way to wet to add any extra liquids to the patches.
