Jacob picked our bushel gourd today. It had stopped growing and the leaves were shriveling up. It just made 71#, but it was growing in a shady spot with higher than desired ph. He self pollinated it so we saved the good genetics from the 279.5 English world record. And we have a couple more of the 279.5 seeds. If we grow it again, it will be down by the pumpkins with better soil and sunlight. Cucumber beetles were really reduced but not eliminated by the new insecticide. I can hit them again on Wednesday. I will use the Daconil again on the AG's to try to knock out the PM. I add milk to the foliar feedings and it at least is keeping it from spreading. The watermelons are still growing and we hope a few of them will hit our 100# goal. 92 degrees today, but a cool down with rain is supposed to start tonight.
