The SVB's are here. Our plant in the second patch is crippling along, the heat isn't treating it well. The females keep dying before they even open. I think it will go down soon. It never got a good start and then the cuke beetles got after it. The soil wasn't tilled in that patch and it was really heavy soil to begin with. So when that plant goes down we will till and plant a cover crop to start prepping it for next year. I would pull it out now, but the kids are keeping up hope that somehow it will pull through.
