I got some spraying done Saturday evening. 2 insecticides (Sevin and Triazicide), 2 systemic fungicides (Infuse and Agri-Fos) and 2 contact fungicides (neem oil and Daconil) Gourds are looking tough, but pumpkins are doing great. I only saw a couple cucumber beetles when spraying, not the clouds I saw last year. We are in for a dry spell, so when I have to water again I will give the patch another dose of Merit. Also need to spray some bifenthrin next time I see a cucumber beetle. I don't want a repeat of last year. Rabbits seem to have thinned out, maybe the extra hot wire is helping. A groundhog is showing up now in the evening and might get lead poisoning.
