I have a dilemma. Yesterday my 866 taped 971#, so it needs as much growing time as possible if I want a chance to make 1000#. But we have rain in the forecast for Thursday and
Friday. Too much rain and our 2 wheel drive trucks can get stuck or have trouble getting up the steep hill. I can cover some of the dirt with plastic and tarps. But the weather man is talking about heavy storms for Friday. So I might have to load the pumpkins before Jacob gets home to help. My big pumpkin in Jacob's F150 and his smaller pumpkin in my Ranger. My long gourd will wait until Saturday morning as it still is growing slowly and I want to get every inch I can. I can't seem to knock out the cucumber beetles, but at least they didn't cause a problem until the last 2 weeks. I found some of them with their heads buried in holes they had chewed in my 866. They didn't survive the encounter.
