Cognizant that there will be a major swelling soon. I love the shape compared to my first year.
I sprayed Bifenthrin contact insecticide and Immunox systemic fungicide today. The squash bugs were persisting, so this should knock them back. I did spot some SVB eggs too.
Plan to top dress out my last pound of mycorrhiza tomorrow around the front half of the vine, along with burying the last nodes with my special soil mix. There is a large healthy concentration of secondaries arount the fruit that look to really keep things juiced up. Stump is looking good and dry, green vine. All vines will be terminated in the next 3 days.
Things are so hot and dry : I am watering every day. First day is 1.5 hrs (1”) from the overhead oscillation sprayer, second day is 1 hour from the drip irrigation. The sandy silty loam dries out very fast from the thirsty vine.
