This is the time of year disease sets in. This morning I saw some leaves wilting on the main of he 748, starting at the stump and working out.
they h been sunburned and chewed by Japanese beetles and I thought that was it and remove the leaves. This evening when I was spraying neem oil, Daconil and Sevin, I saw a couple more were wilting. Then I saw that the end of the main on the 1047.5 blossom down plant was badly wilted, looking like phytopthera. I cut it off going one node beyond the wilt. There was brown yucky stuff inside the vine, which looks bad for that plant. Secondaries that came off with the main were clean inside, but I'm betting that was only a temporary condition. It took out a good fourth of the plant. Tomorrow I get out the systemic fungicides for everything. The long gourds are getting the brown anthracnose blight too. And we have a plague of rabbits. There mush have been 9 or 10 of them in the garden this evening.
