stylet oil was also used on every lowerside and upperside of the leaves last night. after the heavy duty blasting of 16 gallons of mix with the stihl fogger 2 nights ago and then the stylet oil last night i brought out the magnifying glass to look for any signs of life on some selected pruned damaged leaves. hundreds on each leaf of every stage of development. winged ones, babies, momma wingedless. fascinating creatures i must say. and they are all now dead. i also had a little merit left over and did a drench this morning on the roots of the healthiest section of leaves left on the 1725 harp. 4 weeks from tomorrow will be the big show. The Second Annual Monsters of the Midway Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off at Bengston's Farm in Homer Glen, Illinois. It will be a very interesting weigh off with the tough conditions this year. who knows who has what and how many will travel for the chance at some very nice size prizes for their effort. we encourage all growers with pumpkins big or small to come get them officially weighed and compete against each other and their own personal bests. bring a cooler with what ever beverage of choice and come tailgate before hand and then feel free to go back to your cooler and pour your beverages into large coffeee cups to continue your beverage intake during the show. this is how we have been doing it for years. lol. and its cheaper this way. lol. anyone coming to watch the show does not have to pay to get into the farm. it is free. and for all particiapnts, you will get a family pass of 4 tickets to go into the nicest halloween set up in the entire Chicago land area with pig races, a pumpkin cannon launcher, hayrides, animitronic robots all over for the kids...you name it. top notch set up with the finest people you will ever meet hosting the event. looking forward to the big day.
