Jacob and I each have 2 plants that are growing a little faster than last year, which is encouraging with the dry conditions. Our other 3 plants are a little bit behind. I sprayed the patch with glyphosate last evening with calm winds, and today Jacob will be mowing grass and mulching the patch with the clippings to try to save as much moisture as possible. So far no return of the cucumber beetles. I need to get some daconil sprayed on the field pumpkins, as a couple are already showing signs of powdery mildew. We culled the long gourds and now have 3 strong plants growing.
