Gave the plants a shot of Merit and watered it in last evening. The plants seem to be growing very slowly. It must the the lack of rain. They don't seem to grow nealy as fast on well water. I have seen only 1 cucumber beetle in the past 2 days, but I did see a few that might have been adult vine borers. The plants are also getting dusted with Eight for a contact insecticide too. Our tiller is dead: out of time, the recoil starter broke and the engine is from a company that went bankrupt so no repair parts are available. Looks like we need to buy an new engine for this fall or next spring.
