We got some needed rain last night. Forecast for next 6 days is low 70's in the day, upper 40's to low 50's at night. Should slow down pumpkin growth, but at least they won't cook like some previous years. POM is spreading from field pumpkins to AGs. Sprayed Companion, AgriFos and Daconil. Will spray milk tonight. Long gourds are going down to the brown rust. Only one foot long baby so far has not rotted at the tip. Rabbits continue to attack a couple of pumpkins but so far repellants have protected the 359 Foss. Field pumpkin vines shorted out the electric fence and a groundhog chewed a smaller watermelon. Then to top it off another deer fly bit me on the eyebrow and my eye is trying to swell shut. Sounds like a whole bunch of problems, but it is a lot better than last year. We still have a shot at getting at least 1 pumpkin over 1000#, and maybe 2 more.
