Picture is of the Main Vine Kin DAP-7. Have you ever felt like a tornado in your patch? Like nothing goes right? Yesterday was my turn for this. I found 3 clusters of squash bug eggs so I hit the whole plant with a dusting of Seven. It looked like hell so I sprayed it mostly off. Felt like that may not be as effective so I hit the plant with a broadcast of spectracide. Guess what?....looked even worse. Hosed that junk down a bit as well. All this happened after a light TKO application. Then I had a walking board tip up on my and come down on two nice healthy leaves. Had to call it quits for the evening after that. I figured it was in the plants best interest that I just walk away.

I did, however, do some good. The side vine kin at DAP-13 was culled. It was time and everything looked great after a generous sulfur dusting. Long live the main. Waiting on tissue test results but have a very good hunch that my potassium is dangerously low.
