Happy July 4th
I have all of my fences up and opened the door on the Aluminet to try and show the plants the best I can. It seems like the Aluminet is preventing an early aphid infestation (in addition to the release of green lacewings and spraying of Garlic Barrier) and the electric fence is keeping out the squirrels that ruined my season last year. Also, I am starting to get a few Squash Vine Borers (SVB) in my pheromone traps so they are in the area and active.
The older leaves look very bad after the hail storm and seemed to have taken the most damage. I am leaving the leaves for now as I feel I am still getting something out of the leaves even if it is not much. Other than the hail damage things are going as well as I have my chosen pumpkin on each plant with mill fabric and sand under each with some new umbrellas over top.
