I self pollinated a 4 lobe female on Survivor this morning. The plant seems to be rebounding nicely. The long gourd plants are growing vines and male flowers but no females. A few leaves that looked like they might be getting brown rust fungus were cut off. All the plants were sprayed with fung-o-nil and Agri-Fos for disease. No bugs have been seen, but I sprayed bifenthrin to keep them out. Local TV is forecasting 2" to 4" of rain for the next 2 days. I'm hoping for less. 4" could cause more flooding with the saturated soil if it comes too fast. A little would help to soften the crusted soil and wash the rest of the dirt off.
