I had to pull the 104.5 McWilliams field pumpkin today, and found the likely reason. Squash bug eggs on 2 leaves, and I killed 4 adult squash bugs. I need to spray insecticide this evening. It was 90 degrees at 1PM, but the plants that had been wilting were looking OK. But fruit growth slowed in the heat. I gave then a light cool-down sprinkle. We are supposed to get heavy storms late tonight and tomorrow morning. Last evening's rain was intense but didn't last long. We could use a good inch now.
