This afternoon, the end of the main on the 748 was badly wilted. There were vine splits at the base of the leaf stalks. I cut it off, and the inside of the vine was full of brown slime. This plant is probably a goner, Only the 899 plant still has the main going.


So far I have seen only 2 bad bugs in the patch. Yesterday it was a Japanese beetle, today it was an adult squash vine borer. Yesterday I sprayed neem oil, Daconil and Sevin. Today I sprayed Triazacide, Agri Fos and Infuse. In a couplr days it will be bifenthrin and Mancozeb. Then in a couple more days it will be time for Merit. Lppks like we will be down to 4 plants. Time to seed radish and rape on the mustard plots.
