I got real busy with other chores and forgot to put the garlic powder on the pumpkin plant. Then I saw pics on Facebook from another Eastern Iowa grower who already found striped cucumber beetles on his plants. So I got the powder applied, and the hoop houses now smell like an Italian restaurant. No bugs seen so far, and I want to keep it that way. I need to add some humic/fulvic to the water warming up in the garbage can for the next watering. And maybe just a slight bit of Miracle Gro just to give the plants a quick start. Jacob, Lu Ann and I went trout fishing yesterday, and caught out limits. The bushel gourd site got the heads and guts buried deep for summer feeding. Crappie fishing should be starting to get good soon, too.
