Big Job today – went from the small windbreak enclosure to the Full Monte. 50% occlusive woven aluminum. Poles anchored in all directions – gonna take a hurricane to take that sucker done. Enclosure 30% bigger than last year, and only 2 plants this year compared to3 last. I've become an adult.
Sprayed:1/2 strength Heritage, Full strength Cleary 3336 systemic fungicide; ½ strength Captain Jack DeadBug for vine borer; ½ strength Eight to get the cucumber beetles I saw today, ½ strength Star-Phite
(0-0-26 phosphite).
Irrigation system enlarged by 2 more rows to accommodate the secondaries that are growing like crazy!
Nice young female 13’ out on the 2043 main stem. Plenty of males on the 1501 to do the work.
