Monday's glyphosate spray is working fast to knock out the weeds. No pollinations yet. I had 2 get close and then rot. Still it is early for our valley, as we usually run a week or two later than the rest of the area. The plants all got a shot of systemic fungicide as the heat and rain are just the thing to get the root rot started on the pumpkins and the brown rust fungus on the long gourds. I got the 1357 Stevens down to a single main. I buried a lot of the ribbon vine deep as it turned 90 degrees and I had roots trying to grow up in the air. I need more dry weather but forecast is for heavy rain for the weekend.
