Out of 3 bushel gourds that Jacob pollinated 8 days ago, only one is growing. I went out this evening, had one female open on the other plant along with 3 males. So it got a triple shot of pollen.
I found out what wrecked the pumpkin that I had to cut off the 1579. An exit hole from some kind of borer appeared. I'm not certain it was a SVB. Yesterday I found the end of a secondary on the 748 wilting. It had 3 green/black skinny worms in the break in the vine. Not white and fat like SVB I have seen in the past.
A couple plants are showing signs of nitrogen deficiency. Mainly in areas where they grow into the edge of the drainage ditches that have weeds and don't get fertilized. I will pick up some 10-10-10 tomorrow and spread it along the vines. It is supposed to rain tomorrow, so that will get it in the soil and give the plants a boost.
