I spent much of the day yesterday burying vines since I had fallen behind. Today I worked on the cucumber beetles. They were out of control just a few days ago, but with a spraying of neem oil and lots of tedious squishing, I think I have gotten them under control. I also applied a Captan paste on the stump to help it dry out and prevent it from rotting. I also have a fan blowing on it right now. The stem split as a seedling on a windy day, but the plant has been doing fine despite that. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?!
