I had some leaves getting brown spots and some shriveling up on the long gourds. Close inspection showed some were just strangled by tendrils. Anyway they got foliar Agri-Fos on Monday, root drench Agri-Fos on Tuesday and daconil today. Some of the gourd vines are now 26' long and growing like crazy. All of them now have gourds set, and I have been culling ones that are too close to the ground. All plants got daconil and bifenthrin today and Survivor got garlic powder. Still no sign of bugs and I want to keep it that way. Field pumpkins were just starting to show a little powdery mildew, but the fruits are growing fast.
