Pulled the 1579, mowed off the weeds and seeded cover crop. It just kept aborting pumpkins. Saw signs of vine borer damage, it was closest to the creek, which meant sandier soil and closer to walnut trees. Then add in beetle pressure crummy weather and it didn't have a chance. The walnuts were cut down last year in the spring but re-sprouted. They will get hit with glyphosate. The 748 pumpkin rotted, it will get pulled this afternoon after the morning rain quits. Makes 3 out of 7 plants down for the count. I'm worried about the 1710 because it is starting to get color. I hope it holds on for the early weigh-off in Bloomfield. It is supposed to rain again on Wednesday, so its a good time to seed cover crops.
