Hot today, 87 degrees, supposed to be 90's tomorrow. The 1047.5 will open the first female on the main tomorrow, so its time to start making some ice. The first female long gourd opened, but its only 6' off the ground so we won't keep it. 10 years ago we would keep it. I tried to be proactive getting fungicide on the field pumpkins to prevent powdery mildew, but when I got to the last plant it was on 3 leaves. Then about 9 PM as Jacob and I were finishing up hoeing, clouds rolled in, the wind picked up, the temperature dropped about 15 degrees in 2 minutes, and 20 minutes later it was pouring rain. Washing the fungicide off. Severe thunderstorm warning. Anyway I go to Walmart tomorrow to pick up some neem oil, so tomorrow evening I will spray that.
