Getting ready for my first growing season since moving to our new property. Not exspecting a great year due to soil conditions and pest problems, Basically growing in what was wildness 2 years ago and with the amount of wild growing blackberries around I exspect the squash bugs to "come out of the woodwork as soon as the pumpkins sprout." Only trying a few Large Pumkins from stock I received from a friend overseas. But I am trying some for some color on the blue/jardale scale and the pink/jardale with seeds that have shown color fastness over several generations. Will begin my pest regimin tomorrow with a systimic spray for pests and instead of digging in my vines to protect from vine borrers will be using a two year old rough mulch to cover the vines as they grow. I will also begin putting out sticky(yellow) traps as soon as the plants sprout.
